Cover Letter

To Whom it May Concern:

Introduction

My name is W. Allan Edwards. My first name is William but people address me as Allan. I am an elite software engineer in the Dallas/Ft.Worth
area. I have been developing solutions for over 25 years total for leading companies in Seattle, WA, Austin, TX, and over the last 15 years in the
Dallas, TX metroplex.

I am sending you my resume today for you to review my credentials. I am a freelancer that works on a corp to corp basis only.

For the past 5 years I have been working independently under my own corporation Leopard Data on a C2C basis with numerous clients. I have
found a very strong niche in this area where most practitioners in my business don’t provide a dependable and reliable value to their clients.
That is where I come in. All of my business for the past 3 years has all been referral! And I have some groups that come back again and again
for help with some of their most challenging software development problems.

My Resume

Attached within the email I sent this cover letter with is my resume and my Leopard Data accomplishments. My resume is my formal work
history for the past 5 years. Most groups want to hire people that are very current in the latest tech so I only send out my last 5 years of work
experience. Technology changes rapidly and anything past 5 years is typically not of interest to those who would be interested in me. As well, I
have attached my Leopard Data accomplishments. I no longer provide a resume with my full 20+ year work history.

Career Synopsis

Here is a high level synopsis of my 20+ years in software development. I have 10+ years as a c++ guru. I have 17 years of .NET and java. As
well, over the last 10 years I have shifted to using cloud based providers for all solutions. I have experience with Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure,
and Amazon AWS. I have leveraged all major SQL relational database management systems including Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, DB2, and
PostgreSQL. I am also a full stack developer. Today you will typically find me delivering applications all the way from the back end REST API up
to the front end HTML and CSS code with bootstrap. I also have experience with alternative database solutions such as Redis Cache, and
MongoDB. Today you will normally find me building a .NET Web API rest api or Node.js that couples with an angular web, or mobile front end
application. I deliver apps in Native mobile and hybrid mobile.

Notable Clients (last few years)

● Bell Helicopter - Big Data, Hadoop

● Thomson Reuters - Big Data, AWS Cloud, Azure Cloud
● IBM - Big Data, Cloud AWS Azure
● Spectocor - Big Data, Hadoop, Mobile Development
● SiriusXM - Connected Vehicles Mobile Development
● Microsoft - Compiler Development, Software Development Tooling

Full Stack Development

Isn’t easier to hire a full stack developer versus someone that has skills only on one side of the system? I prefer to build all sides of the system.
On numerous occasions you will find me building both sides of a system. I enjoy developing web or mobile front ends as much as the APIs that
drive their data.

Management Experience

“If you serve you team members, the successes will be great!”. I have lead teams for over half my career. Although I still do projects where I
am the sole developer, often you will find me in a team lead or architect role. Half of my 20+ years has been spent managing teams of
developers. I started leading teams when I was 25 in Austin Texas on aggressive semiconductor manufacturing software development projects.
Since this time I have been developing code and people at the same time!

TDD and Paired Development

Out in the market, you will find many different sized organizations, structures, and management styles. Some believe in agile program
methodologies and others do not. I have spent about 25% of my time working in test driven development and paired programming. Since I am
mostly a programming mercenary I stay out of the fight to decide on whether to implement these concepts on a project or not. I just comply
with the direction set forth and do the best job I can based on how my clients want us to develop code. Either way, I just focus on providing my
clients with the highest quality output possible.

Claims to Fame

Some of my greatest claims to fame in my career is I worked on the Visual C++ team at Microsoft when I was 19 years old. As well, I worked on
a Bill Gates pet project called Visual Basic for Windows CE. One of the applications I developed won Healthcare informatics application of the
year and was run at the top hospital in the country Mayo Clinic. I have consulted with the biggest Hedge Fund in the world as a .NET expert. As
a paid interviewer for some of Dallas’s largest contract shops I doubled their programmer hire success rate. I typically receive over 500 calls a
year from recruiters.

I have numerous other accolades I can share with you later!

Latest Recommendation
On November 18, 2017 I received the following recommendation on Linkedin from my current manager at Sirius XM, Jimmy Ball. He stated in
writing…

Allan is an exceptional software engineer that can pick up the barest of requirements and knock it out of the park. He was able to navigate
through several scrum teams and Dev environments to deploy enterprise analytics solutions across multiple sites and native apps that our
in-house team struggled with. He’s easy to work with and a great communicator. If you’re looking for someone to get things done right and
fast, Allan is your man.

Beyond Jimmy I have numerous other clients that can speak for my previous work. Upon job offer I will provide a complete list of managerial
and peer reference phone numbers.

How I Learn and Keep Up

Part of being an IT professional is always staying up with the latest and greatest technologies. I learn primarily on the job working various
contracts for my clients. But I also put my own investment of time into my learning. I maintain a pluralsight subscription, I probably buy at
least a new book every couple of weeks, and I code in my spare time. I also read publications like MSDN magazine and Java magazine.

One of my favorite ways to keep up with technology is to give back to the community. I design and develop software for nonprofits in the
business of helping societies needy. On these projects I try as many new technologies as I can to maintain understanding of as many
technologies as possible. On top of that I feel good knowing that I give back to helping those less fortunate than me.

My Testing Policy

I have a no multiple choice testing policy. What I will provide you is with code samples and if you need testing, I am willing to build you a small
sample of code for you to verify my abilities.

Demonstration Software - My Portfolio

What is better than an interview? Actually seeing work a coder has completed! I love what I do for a living. I love what I do so much that I also
work on projects on my own time. Not only do I have accolades of software I have built for client’s but I have built quite a few apps on my
personal time. The applications I own are available for you to view. At the beginning of my resume you will find numerous examples of my
work. I have published a hybrid mobile crm application in the Apple App Store and the Google Play store. As well, you will find I have published
some node.js code on github in the form of a content management system. This code can be found at
https://github.com/siliconplains44/ldcontentstorm. As well, I have built a number of cloud published solutions that run under Azure, AWS, and
Google Cloud. They are desktop applications that let you backup your computer, share files in the cloud, and encrypt and decrypt information.
If you or a client of yours would like to have a sample of my source code or a demonstration of any of these apps I am ready to show you
everything!.

Published On GitHub

If you are interested in seeing some of my work. You can go to my GitHub site and clone some of my code!

My Love of Technology

People ask me during interviews how I keep up with technology. My answer is always that applications development is my hobby and my
career. I love technology and what it provides to society in the form of new business efficiency. Not only do I implement solutions
professionally, I also work on solutions out of my home office. I keep Mac computers, Windows computers, Linux computers, laptops,
desktops, and a myriad of hardware around to build solutions on.

Some people ask where I come up with ideas for the side solutions I build. My answer to that question is I find lots of need for software apps.
Recently, I took on a web applications project to build a solution for a non profit adoption agency. With this project I was able to try some new
architecture ideas, learn some new skills, and give back to the community some of my skills. The best way to keep up with technology and stay
good with it is to literally implement solutions for others.

Education Details
I graduated from High School in 1994, then spent some time in college at Texas Tech University. I stopped pursuing a degree because I was
given an opportunity to move to Seattle and work at Microsoft in Redmond WA. For your education requirements I have degree equivalent
experience.

Airline personnel were already trained on.

Custom Javascript Code Snippets

Minimal Single Page Application Framework
Designed a special javascript framework for single page applications called minimal. The idea behind my
framework was to provide a spa enabled switch out of javascript and html dynamically on a page
change. In less than 100 lines of code I delivered a full spa framework that worked for all browser types.
Later this framework was utilized in major ecommerce web applications for online sales of cloud based
services.

Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery Experience

I have extensive experience with CI/CD over the past 5 years. A number of my contracts
required such. I have been a part of the overall design of the processes and the development
with tools and code for CI/CD. Tools I have leveraged include JetBrains TeamCity, Jenkins,
Docker, Python Scripting, GitHub, BitBucket, and other Git providers. I have experience
integrating Integration and unit testing into our CI/CD environments.

Docker
Over the past 5 years Docker has become an IT staple. Throughout my contracts I have had
extensive experience using Docker for CI/CD, personal and professional development. Today, it
is very advantageous to build a docker container from an image, test that in stage, then deploy
that to prod. It allows developers to encapsulate all dependencies in the package and the
operations folks don’t need to go through messy scripting to rebuild what we already have
tested in dev and stage. Docker is now a part of most of my current projects.
