Cover Letter Fail

I noticed that the resume on my site – this site – is completely out of date. I try to keep it up to date as I work on new projects. It’s so easy to forget the amazing stuff I – and we – do after it’s released to customers or pushed to prod.

That process sent me down quite a rabbit hole and I ended up working on all my “professional” documents. However; I don’t think I got the Cover Letter right. What do you think?

—————————-

I have an extremely diverse background including Linux/BSD administration and Dynamic Languages; before they were in vogue. The past 5+ years I’ve been focused on .NET but recently dove back into Ruby with a small side project privateflock.com. I am waiting on a pending twitter whitelist to see if I can build out the functionality for the public. Right now it serves my needs just fine.

I am looking for a position very similar to my current high profile, high pressure, weight on my back position. However; I am not yet interested to becoming an Architect – I love coding too much.

I have a rather long background for my age; 32. I feel it helps me see the big picture on a daily basis. I have a large amount of tattoos and work daily to provide business value in whatever I am asked to do.

If not for the power going out in our building today I would just be leaving work now, about 7pm EST, with close to 40 hours so far this week….did I mention I love what I do?

I try to play and enjoy life as much as I work; I have two wonderful daughters and – excuse me – the best wife around. I spend almost all non-work free time with them.

I am not sure this conveys anything except: I can’t spell, I <3 run on sentences and I have no writing prose.

It’s a good thing I get paid to code….maybe.
