Hello!

I was made aware of an opportunity for employment through Jill Zande at
MATE. I’m a fourth year computer engineering student at Cal Poly who will be
graduating in fall, and I am interesting in the position! I am using this
email as my cover letter, and I have attached my resume.

I have experience in the ROV field through MATE — I was a member of the Sea
Sweepers ROV team here in Monterey when I was in high school. While on the
team, I learned how to program as well as send data through various serial
protocols before the team ended up on using RS-232. This experience gives me
a unique perspective, in my opinion, and would make me a great fit in this
position.

I also have two years of experience at Aruba Networks, where I was an
embedded software engineering intern. This allowed me to learn how to work
in a team setting, and with a codebase that I was unfamiliar with. I was
thrown right into the mix at Aruba, and these skills would be a plus to any
job I have in the future.

Although I do not have much experience with Yocto or ROS, these are skills I
could learn relatively quickly. I am a quick learner and love expanding my
skill set.

I hope you will consider me for the position! I currently have a job offer
from HPE that I need to respond to by March 1st, so I would love to hear
back from you before then.
