Hiring Manager
JPMorgan Chase & Co.
383 Madison Ave
New York, NY 10179

Re: Experienced Software Engineer (Java/Python) Position

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am applying for the Experienced Software Engineer role at JPMorgan Chase. With a B.S. in Computer & Information Science (Summa Cum Laude, SUNY Old Westbury) and hands-on experience in Python, Java, and system design, I am well prepared to contribute to your Global Technology team.

In my academic capstone, I developed a full-stack Othello AI application using FastAPI, SQLite, and advanced algorithms such as Minimax and Monte Carlo Tree Search. This project sharpened my skills in backend development, data modeling, and scalable architecture while also demonstrating my ability to deliver an end-to-end production-ready system. Beyond academics, I have supported IT operations and software contracting projects where I delivered stable code, resolved complex issues, and gained familiarity with CI/CD and cloud tools like Docker and AWS.

I bring a blend of software engineering rigor and practical adaptability. My experience spans system design, secure coding, and troubleshooting at scale, aligning with JPMorgan’s need for resilient, enterprise-grade solutions. I am particularly drawn to your mission of building secure, high-quality financial technology that impacts millions of users.

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background and projects can support JPMorgan Chase’s initiatives. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
Frank Valdez
