Dear Hiring Manager,

As my resume reveals, I have a Master's degree in Applied Math and Ph.D in Computer Science. I have more then six years of professional software development experience. I enjoy working in a high energy and high performance work environment. I have
worked on and learned a great deal from several very interesting and complex commercial projects.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Alex Ivanov
