+
+  To Whom It May Concern,
+
+  My name is Tamara Vassileva. I became aware of the openings at Tailscale while looking around, and thought that
+  I'd be an excellent fit for the Developer Advocate position. I want to transition into Developer Relations roles as I
+  viscerally enjoy teaching and presenting information to others, and love learning and mastering systems.
+
+  I've spent a lot of my professional life documenting systems, and have always loved finding engaging ways of presenting
+  information. I have always believed that if you can't explain something in a way that a layperson can understand it,
+  then you don't understand it sufficiently well. I can confidently say that I could explain basic category theory to
+  most anyone who asked, and am confident that I'd be a great addition to the team.
+
+  I've recently started a blog at \url{https://rin.systems}, where I document my various (mis)adventures in tech, and
+  have found it both refreshing and fulfilling outlet to publish in a concise, yet fun format.
+  
+  On the flip side, a lot of the work that I've done has been small-scale automation and proof-of-concepts.
+  A proof-of-concept that I'm especially proud of was a path optimization tool that I wrote.
+  The issue at hand was that a lot of person\textendash{}hours would be spent on minimising the length of cable runs
+  between access nodes, and there was no tool to automate this. I quickly realised that this was a travelling
+  \textendash{}salesman problem and whipped up a proof-of-concept in Haskell, as it seemed a good tool for the
+  job, and later re-written into a python script to make it easier to maintain.
+  The original Haskell script performed admirably on all the test data, and the python script performed only marginally
+  worse.
+
+  For these reasons, I think I'd make a good candidate for the Developer Advocate position at Tailscale, and look forward
+  to hearing back from you.
+
+  Sincerely,\newline
+  Tamara Vassileva
