Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in an employment position with your

organization. I am eager to work with a company striving for innovative

advancements and new marketing strategies. I hope to gain new insight

working in your program to further shape my craft in design. I believe I

have the skills and qualifications you seek in an employee.

I have a proven track record of going above and beyond with what I do. At

my recent hire, a digital software company, I was a Front-End Web Designer.

There, my efforts reached to improving the company's image through managing

and maintaining six corporate websites. Additionally, it was expected of me

to design and code custom email templates for weekly submissions to

Constant Contact, reaching out to 28,000 libraries worldwide.

I have a strong background in developing in CMS structures as Wordpress,

adopting and utilizing the bootstrap framework to support format layouts.

My experience is demonstrated in languages accompanying PHP as, jQuery,

HTML5/CSS3, and JavaScript. My coding proficiencies of each language are a

solid blend to coincide harmoniously to develop strong programming logic

ensuring the developed software functions. I habitually, grade code through

Mozilla's firebug and Chrome's Inspector testing against console for

erroneous elements. I have a premlinary working knowledge of OOP in PHP. I

develop all websites with cross-browser (W3C) compatibility, designing the

layouts responsively to support all devices.

Professionally, my daily workflow follows a hierarchically-organized

environment staging deployments from local to dev to test to production

using JIRA ensuring that content is accurate before exposing to the world.

Proficient understanding of tabular HTML layouts structured for Email

Marketing. I have strong design skills in Photoshop and Illustrator CC to

brand company image effectively and advertise products respectively with a

knowledgeable color theory.

I possess excellent communication skills and can liaise effectively with

both clients and work colleagues using version control programs as Git and

Mercurial, and share point for clients. I'm capable of self-work on

projects as well as disciplined and versatile enough to work as part of a

team. My acute sense of detail helps me meet deadlines under pressure and

sort through projects that are contingent upon others. I have demonstrated

my ability to meet with clients to build and document web site

requirements, plan mock-ups and storyboards, optimize content by means of

various graphics, database, animation and other software to create website

architecture and find out hardware and software requirements. Additionally,

I have worked extensively with Wordpress themes and maintaining multiple

sites and comprehend the capabilities of cross-browser responsiveness.

Furthermore, I am competent in building custom themes from scratch, wire

framing the initial stages with Balsamiq software.

I would appreciate the opportunity to be a part of an openly creative,

playful, and highly collaborative team. Should you need additional

information, please contact me by phone or e-mail me at the above address.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I look forward to

hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Dalian Banks
