Subject: \textbf{Application for Software Engineer Position}\\

Dear Mr. Gopal,
	
	I am a final year undergraduate at IIT Kanpur, majoring in Computer Science \& Engineering. Please consider my application for software engineer position at Hasura.
	
	I have explored several sectors of Computer Science during my stay at IITK, the notable ones being Parallel Programming, Cryptography, Functional Programming(Haskell), Propositional logic etc. 
		
	I have worked extensively for nearly an year on Data Race Detection in Task-Parallel Programs and came up with a novel race-checking algorithm called {\sc{Tusker}}. It is found to incur significantly low space as well as time overheads, performing better than all other SOTA in the same domain. I have also dealt with several of the standard parallel libraries including Pthread, Intel TBB and OpenMP.
	
	With regard to my ability to meet specific requirements for the job:
	\begin{itemize}
		\item \textbf{Language}: C/C++(Proficient), Python(Proficient), Haskell(Moderate), Java(Moderate), PHP(Basic), JavaScript(Basic)
		
		\item \textbf{CS Fundamentals}: Sufficient knowledge of CS basics like Compilers, Operating Systems, Algorithms, DataBases etc. 
		
		\item \textbf{Engineering Aptitude}: Experience with several tools including MySql, MongoDB, LLVM, TensorFlow etc.
	
	\end{itemize}
	
	
	I have also implemented several of the key projects in different fields including designing java compiler using PLY, implementing decoder for several popular ciphers, building a fully-functional MERN application etc.
%	
%	I have always aspired to be the part of a dedicated engineering team employing several key technologies to build products. Hasura completely fits in my aspirations and therefore working here is something that I definitely look forward to.
%	

	There must be several applications for the same. However, I do believe that with my keen interest in working around the latest technologies, pre-existing skills and perseverance, I can be an integral part of Hasura.
	
	I, therefore, sincerely request you to consider my application for the role and give me an opportunity for proving myself. I have attached my resume and gradesheet with the application.\\\\
	
	Thanking you for your valuable time.
	
	Regards,\\
	Shivam
