Python Backend Developer

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the Python Backend Developer position. I am currently based in Georgia and I am willing to consider any opportunity, whether it be remote, in-office, or relocation.

I began learning web development in 2020 while working full-time, and completed training as a Python Developer at Hexlet in 2022. Since then, I have been continuing my education independently while looking for my first job in the field.

I have completed three projects so far that have given me valuable experience and skills:

• Brain Games: Console utility consisting of five games based on mathematical logic, using a unified architecture.
• Gendiff: Console application that takes paths to two files in json/yaml formats and generates differences.
• Анализатор страниц (Page Analyzer): Full-fledged Flask-based application that analyzes web pages and interacts with databases.

I have also completed a task manager project using Django, which has given me experience with CRUD, m2m, o2m, and Django ORM.

In addition to my project experience, I have a strong foundation in Python, web technologies, Flask, and Django. I am familiar with basic algorithms for search and sorting, graph algorithms, greedy algorithms, and Big O notation. I have experience with regular expressions, SQL queries, PostgreSQL, and psycopg2. I am also proficient in HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Requests, BeautifulSoup, Chrome DevTools, Pycharm, and Linux command line.

Before transitioning to web development, I worked as an engineer in oil and gas drilling for over a decade, where I gained experience in drilling operations, parameter control, and communication with clients and contractors. I am proud of my accomplishments in ensuring safe and productive operations.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to discussing my qualifications further.

Sincerely,
[Your name]
