Dear Kevin Rodriguez,

I am excited to apply for the DevOps Engineer position at InfraTech Solutions. With 5 years of experience automating infrastructure and optimizing deployment pipelines, I am confident in my ability to enhance your engineering operations.

At CloudOps Inc., I implemented CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitLab CI, reducing deployment time from hours to minutes. I have extensive experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and AWS services. I also developed monitoring solutions using Prometheus and Grafana, improving system visibility and reducing incident response time.

I am particularly interested in InfraTech's focus on infrastructure as code and automation. I would be honored to bring my passion for reliability and efficiency to your team.

Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to discussing how I can contribute to InfraTech's infrastructure goals.

Sincerely,

Chris Taylor
