Dear Hiring Manager,

I’m a technically sound and proficient individual with five years of in Software development and testing. In my recent role as Senior Software Engineer in Atalayan, Inc., I have built and designed efficient microservices from scratch using technologies like Golang, Kubernetes, and AWS services. I wrote modular, decoupled, and scalable containerized applications and helm charts for various applications. I am well versed in HTTP RESTful Web services and SOAP APIS in Golang. I also have hands-on experience with MongoDB Document Model, Data Modeling, and Design Patterns.

I have also spent nearly three years as Software Engineer for Parallel Wireless. In this role, I have worked on Distributed Systems, Docker, and Kubernetes. I have developed Microservices using intelligent algorithms to handle 2G/3G/4G Neighbors based on Real-Time data. I also worked with databases like MongoDB. I diligently work with my team to provide customers with meaningful software solutions. I am proficient in Linux and Windows development environment configuration.

In the past, I had worked as a QA Engineer, proactively involved in Unit Testing, Integration Testing, and System Testing of our product. I have also tested REST APIs of our Microservices. Through testing, I gradually developed a comprehensive knowledge of our software products from the customer's perspective. 

I’m also Cisco Certified Network Professional. I thoroughly understand IP networking principles, addressing, subnetting, routing, switching, and VLANs.

With my extensive background in software engineering of Cloud-based Products, I will be a good fit for this role, and my skills can be utilized for better company growth. My greatest strengths are curiosity, a positive attitude, and adaptability. I want to learn more about this opportunity and would be glad to share insights into my skills.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
