Dear Ms. Najm,
I am writing this to give you context about my experience as a systems programmer and to explain why I would be a good candidate for Untether AI’s compiler engineer intern position.
Ive come from a mathematics heavy computer science background and this past year I have been specifically working on low-level software and security projects. I applied to this posting because it was mentioned that there is a preference for the LLVM toolchain which I love and endorse in my spare time. My personal project, germspeak is an effort to bring the LLVM compiler technologies to a wider audience. It is an esoteric programming language that uses recursive and top-down parsing adopted in both an interpreter and compiler form. I often have to read the LLVM assembly as part of the debugging process and I am able to diagnose issues before runtime by analyzing the IR.
Additionally, I believe that my skills in reverse code engineering will prove invaluable during the software testing phase. I participate in CTF challenges weekly where I use tools like GDB, z3, IDA, radare2, Binary Ninja and other toolkits to analyze the behavior and patch executable programs. This level of debugging and code analysis will allow me to discover security gaps or optimization holes that can be addressed during the next sprint.
Personally, I have not worked with agile before, but I have experience working with Trello and Notion aswell as leadership experience in leading tech club events and hackathon projects. I am confident that I will be a key player capable of leading a contributing to a small team.
I am well aware that Spacial is relatively new tech. As such I am excited to learn and be a part of the research involved with this compiler toolkit.
I have attached my resume and my personal portfolio.
I look forward to speaking with you in the near future.
Cheers, David.
