Shifat Ghazi <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_EMAIL_ADDRESS> | <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_URL> | github.com/shifatghazi September 2024 Ottawa, Ontario Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing to express my interest in the Winter 2025 Co-op/Intern placement (4, 8, or 12 months). Having learned of this opportunity through the Co-operative Education Office at Carleton University. As a third-year Bachelor of Software Engineering student, I am excited about the chance to contribute my technical expertise to a dedicated team like yours. My academic journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in software engineering, with a focus on software development, cybersecurity, and app development. I am passionate about leveraging innovative technologies to solve realworld challenges, closely aligning with the mission statement. In my most recent co-op, I served as an IT Admin Assistant at Flex Point Security in collaboration with Carleton University, where I gained practical experience in cloud computing, cybersecurity, and managing enterprise-level IT systems. My responsibilities included network security, cloud infrastructure management, and ensuring system resilience—all of which have deepened my technical proficiency and problem-solving skills. Additionally, my roles as the Director of Technology and Co-Promotions Director for the Canadian University Software Engineering Conference (CUSEC) and Project Manager at Carleton University Blueprint have provided me with strong insights into project management, team collaboration, and agile methodologies. These experiences sharpened my knowledge of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), object-oriented programming, data structures, and user interface design. I have developed technical expertise across multiple programming languages, including Python, Java, C/C++, Ruby, Bash, Rexx and JavaScript, as well as experience with database systems like SQL and web technologies like PHP. Leading the development of an interactive website for CUSEC allowed me to further refine my skills in algorithm design, debugging, and UI/UX. Beyond technical skills, my background in diverse roles—such as teaching assistant, pharmacy assistant, sports coach/referee, and senior sales consultant—has strengthened my leadership and communication abilities. My proficiency in English, French, and Bengali has been essential in collaborating with diverse teams and stakeholders. I am particularly drawn to the commitment, innovation and its impact in both the public and private sectors from such team. The opportunity to contribute to an organization that values teamwork, creativity, and technical excellence is highly appealing. I am confident that my technical skills, leadership experiences, and dedication to continuous learning make me a strong candidate for the team’s Co-op program. I am excited about the prospect of contributing to the initiatives and collaborating with your talented team. Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume for your review and look forward to discussing how I can contribute to the team’s goals.
