Mr. Dinesh Ponnuru
Regional Director
Conch Technologies, Inc.
Dear Mr. Ponnuru:
I am about to graduate from Western Kentucky University with a bachelor's degree in computer science with a concentration towards systems and software development. During my education, I became familiar with software life cycles, means testing, and best practices. I spent my four years writing and then testing software in Java, C, and Python, including writing 90% of the code for a functioning website from scratch in the span of 72 hours, along with experience in creating and modifying databases through SQL. In doing so, I have practiced proper developer-client etiquette, written GANNT charts, and constructed intricate data pipelines.
Thank you once again for your consideration. I remain very excited about joining Conch Technologies, and I strongly believe that the skills I honed through my nearly-completed education will serve your company and customers well. I hope to continue our discussion soon.
Best regards,
Jacob Raymond
