Sample Software Engineer Cover Letter
Dear Sir,
I’m a software engineering graduate from San Jose State University (SJSU) with good academic standing and strong professional experience. I have expertise in XHTML/CSS/Java Script/AJAX, Java/Servlets/ JSP/ EJB, J2ME, PHP/Ruby on Rails, SQL/Data Modeling and ETL/Data Mining techniques. Also I have in-depth understanding of Virtualization, Web Services, SAAS and Cloud Computing platforms. IÂ’m interested in the Software Engineer position which you have advertised in your company website. I believe with my graduate education, professional experience and spirit I’m quite able to do this job efficiently.
As a software engineer in Cygnet software, I worked in a logistics project in which I was involved in database designing, developing web reporting pages and testing. This opportunity provided me an introduction to web application development and strengthened my programming quotient. Through intensive course work, demanding class projects which I did in SJSU as part of MasterÂ’s degree has further expanded my horizon into development large scale systems. Throughout my graduate academic venture, I have practiced different technology/business domains which provided me opportunity to learn new technologies.
To further enhance my professional skills and in quest for learning I joined Wiotel Inc as a Software Engineer. During this period I was involved in developing a web based control system to monitor and report remote hosts/services using REST web services. The unique startup experience taught me about analyzing solution for problems, breaking down tasks, researching for solution and learning required things on fly.
Presently, IÂ’m working as a Software Engineer in Retail Solutions (formerly T3Ci) which has provided me an opportunity to explore ETL Processing/Data Mining techniques. My current responsibility includes analyze/design/developing a test framework for QA process, maintaining/enhancing our SAAS based analytic products and assisting production team.
About me, I’m a self starter and motivated team player with ability to accomplish tasks independently. Through my work experience and other professional activities I have strengthened my interpersonal and presentation skills. I aver that with my cumulative experience which I gained from diverse sources, I’m quite able to do this job with responsibility. I would appreciate if you give me an opportunity to discuss more about my credentials and the position.
I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely
