To: IT Human Resource Managers,

I have gained unique experience and expertise that qualifies me to seek an Senior Software Developer position with your organization.

I am an experienced full stack lead developer with experience architecting complex software application systems accessing, updating, and reconciling large transactional datasets supported by customized interfaces into statewide information technology resources. I am routinely responsible for the entire development processes including requirements and system model documentation, database design, implementation, UAT management, and release planning.

My suitability for this role is founded on my familiarity with the T.O.G.A.F. enterprise architecture framework as well as a career of documenting, designing, and implementing mission critical enterprise solutions in well-structured solo and team environments. I have a thorough understanding of the long-term costs of aging, outdated, and redundant application system portfolios and excel at achieving cost reductions by identifying opportunities to eliminate systemic inefficiencies through remedial implementation of enterprise architecture.

In addition to the technical assets, I have developed demonstrable enterprise leadership skills by creating a .Net Application Development Subcommittee to set goals for Security, Architectural, and Enterprise Integration Teams responsible for bringing organizations into line with industry best practices and standards in each of these respective domains. I have also founded Education and Training initiatives focusing on mentoring and improving the skill set of junior developers.

In the capacity of Technical Team Lead, I’ve led mixed experience teams consisting of contracted consultants and internal development staff. I am a primary resource for providing technical oversight and guidance for multiple projects and have extensive experience conducting research to steer the adoption of new software libraries, development tools, and programming paradigms for improving the quality of application development. I’ve also been an active member of change and configuration management teams.

During my career I’ve exceled at designing UI/UX, business services, entity models, security, logging, and data layers for applications in the fields of transportation, commercial finance, accounting, and criminal justice and I routinely work with agencies to improve the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) rating of the enterprise systems under my authority.

As your organization is seeking a highly organized technical software developer with expert level experience designing and documenting complex data-centric software systems, familiar with multiple facets of an enterprise’s mission, and sensitive to executive concerns for maintaining high levels of stakeholder confidence during the implementation of systems critical to the day to day operations of an enterprise; I look forward to meeting with you to further discuss how I can contribute to the success of your software development initiatives.

Sincerely,

De Shan Baptiste
