Summary

I successfully built and deployed a centralized log analysis pipeline using Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana. I also developed PowerShell and Bash automation scripts to monitor services and detect system issues, which helped improved up time and visibility. These experiences sharpened my skills in Python, Bash, and SQL and gave me valuable insight into solving real world IT challenges in a collaborative setting.

Cover Letter

I am writing to express my interest in the Software Developer position at Google, as advertised on Linkin. With hands on experience in implementing ELK Stack log monitoring and automating system tasks during my internships at Graco, I’m excited to contribute my skills and passion to your innovative team.

During my internship, I successfully built and deployed a centralized log analysis pipeline using Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana. I also developed PowerShell and Bash automation scripts to monitor services and detect system issues, which helped improved up time and visibility. These experiences sharpened my skills in Python, Bash, and SQL and gave me valuable insight into solving real world IT challenges in a collaborative setting.

I’m particularly inspired by Google’s mission to develop scalable software solutions that make a meaningful impact. My analytical mindset, combined with a strong desire to continuously improve, enables me to take on technical challenges with a positive, team-oriented attitude.

Thank you for considering my application. I would appreciate the opportunity to further discuss how my technical skills and passion for software development align with your team’s goals. I’m excited about the potential to contribute to your success.
