Summary

Dear Hiring Manager/Recruiter,

I am a passionate developer advocate at Postman with experience as a full stack developer and educator with an extensive technical background. With 5+ years of experience in the tech industry, I have developed a strong track record of achieving measurable results. Here are a few examples of my accomplishments:

Growing and managing community of 9600+ active developers with technical workshops & livestreams, blogs and video content, & student program certifications alongside team of Senior Developer Advocates and Curriculum Engineers

Streamlined and raised total Postman Student Programs applications to 20,000+ (Q3 2022) by collaborating closely with curriculum engineers to build, test & launch new API Student Bootcamp offerings

Raised total Postman Student Expert certifications to 5,000+ (Q4 2022) by inspiring, supporting, educating and advocating for community

Led successful launch of new curriculum content that boosted student completion rate to 30% (Q4 2022-2023)

Increased product value to $1 billion (Q4 2019) by helping to improve and maintain Macys digital product apps and services for consumers (Macys)

In addition to these achievements, I have excellent communication and interpersonal skills as shown by my work in writing technical blog content, building code samples, and giving technical workshops in-person and online to drive community growth and engagement. I am a doer who knows how to chase a good idea when I see it, and I believe in taking initiative.

I am most comfortable using JavaScript and Python and thrive in cross-functional teams. I am also confident presenting to different types of audiences, both large and small. Additionally, I have experience as a Developer Advocate, full-stack developer, and working with web APIs, which gives me an added advantage for this position.

In closing, I am excited about the opportunity to work at your company. I am confident in my ability to improve developer experiences, drive community engagement, and work with cross- functional teams to grow your product's ecosystem. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to discussing my qualifications with you further.

Sincerely

Expectations

In my next job I am looking for support and growth in my career as a developer advocate. I am also looking for mentorship opportunities from senior employees and leadership. Lastly, I want the opportunity to learn and develop my skills, a good work-life balance, and a good overall total compensation package.
