Dear Mr. Garcia,

I am writing to express my interest in the Software Developer position on [website.com] under section [‘Careers at’]. I had the pleasure of speaking with [Name Surname] at the Computer Science Conference 2021 at [University], and he suggested that I contact you about the job opening. With a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and years of hands-on experience developing apps for iOS and Android, I am convinced about my potential contribution to your team. Therefore, I want you to consider this application for the devops position.

To shortly introduce myself, my name is [Name Surname] and I am currently pursuing a master’s degree in Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with an expected completion date of June 2021. I noticed that [App X] lacks code efficiency which decreases the reliability, speed and programming methodology. I am thrilled about the prospect of writing and implementing efficient code to provide a more cost-effective solution. In addition, working with the information-technology operations listed in the job description happens to be exactly the same experience that I seek for my career path.

As a motivated intern at [Company Y], I am known as a keen technical trouble-shooter and dedicated to resolving issues such as security threats, debugging, testing and evaluating new programs (see references). I oversee the building of innovative systems architecture via JavaScript, MySQL, HTML/CSS, C# and Python. If you want to see some of the projects that I work on in my spare time, see my GitHub account: [github.com/account], or check out my portfolio website: [portfoliowebsite.com].

I welcome the opportunity to discuss reducing resource consumption and completion time to minimise risk to the business or operating environment. The attached resume includes detailed information on my skills and experience as a full stack developer. If you have any questions concerning my application, you can reach me at [Phone number] and [Email address]. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Noah Davis
