Dear Hiring Manager,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Ahmad Ali, a Computer Science student at York University with hands-on experience in Agile development, technical support, and data analysis. I recently worked at TD Bank as an Associate Software Engineer, where I automated processes and resolved critical production issues. I also bring research and data reporting skills from my time as a Data Analyst Intern. I am passionate about technology, quick to learn, and eager to contribute to innovative teams. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background aligns with your organization's goals.

Warm regards,
Ahmad Ali

In a new role, I’m looking for the opportunity to contribute to impactful projects, grow my technical skills, and work within a collaborative, agile team environment. I’m particularly interested in roles that involve problem-solving, automation, and data analysis, where I can apply my experience with Java, SQL, and scripting to improve systems and processes. I value continuous learning and would like to be in a position that offers mentorship, professional development, and the chance to work on real-world challenges that make a difference.

I’m excited about the opportunity to work with your team because of your focus on innovation, collaboration, and meaningful impact. Based on what I’ve learned about your company, you value cutting-edge technology, continuous improvement, and building solutions that truly serve users — all of which align with my own goals as a developer. I’m eager to contribute my technical skills in Java, SQL, and automation, and to continue learning in an environment that encourages growth, mentorship, and teamwork. Being part of a forward-thinking organization like yours would be both a challenge and a great step in my career.

One of the most challenging experiences I had was during my role at TD Bank, where I was tasked with resolving a critical production issue that disrupted multiple financial processes. The challenge was not only the technical complexity—diagnosing failed jobs, analyzing log files, and debugging SQL queries—but also the urgency, as delays could impact end-of-day reporting and customer transactions. I had to act quickly, collaborate across teams, and implement a shell script to automate the job resends. This experience tested my ability to stay focused under pressure, communicate clearly, and deliver a reliable solution in a high-stakes environment.
