Dear Hiring Manager, Recruiter, or Curious Individual Looking To Work Together In The Future,
I write today with over twelve years of real work-taxed employment experience that is not family-owned. Within that, I bring over seven of those years focused full-time in the development of information technology-related fields. I am familiar with the agile culture, and I have worked in both large enterprise-level to small corporate companies that awe me in their scale of development projects. I'm hungry to understand best business practices and to learn new technologies, in order to succeed and the continuously changing and fast pace environment of today. I believe in the good of humanity, and to better one's self in order to make a positive impact on society. From a technical business analyst to now a Project Manager, I still enjoy the opportunity to listen, learn, and write the epics in a way that captures the volume of work that allows the creation of user stories to build the latest and ready for the next round of UAT. Always updating the requirements from smart directors and company vice presidents, and even sole owners on shorter projects that trust me with their projects.
I am thankful for past mentors for teaching me how to translate business requirements details to smart Deveoplers and QA testers. Learning from an extensive range of cultural backgrounds attempting to compete and complete the same tasks and work as me together with them. Every week I focus on making small differences in software and machines with data and queries and teaching scrum masters next steps to make code safer, and better at accesses and performing requests over the user’s raw data in any database. I enjoy the feeling of looking at the display on a user interface and saying that I listen to the users and product owners with their current problems and then worked with Devs, Q.A., and Ops with my efforts to make a difference on the screen. By asking the right questions, it is possible to build small working prototypes quickly within Jira, InVision, Adobe, C# .Net, Postmates, Ready API automation, and other system tools to deliver a project that becomes final products that meet owner requirements. Remotely, I am able to do all my work from my desk, and I am flexible with my available times to communicate with a global team.
After active working hours, and free from committed tasks for the day, I enjoy researching and tinkering with things I do not understand. I like learning about different markets and e-commerce on the internet, and amazed by the volumes of opportunities across the internet. I love there is always different ways to buy or sell anything online across the world the best practices that work today with different platforms. I have degrees in computer information systems, business administration, and philosophy but am still open to learning and growing in order to better myself and others through MBA studies in the past. I challenge myself to pick a virtual Ph D. program and principle to start pursuing by fall of 2023 to become a subject matter expert in a new highly valuable but difficult subject by the end of Spring 2027.
I have a self-driven personality with the experience to not be overwhelmed to learn the syntax of code in an IDE, run queries, perform quality assurance tests, or configure server DNS settings in addition to working with the business to achieve their milestones. It is this reason I do always consider myself a developer at heart, and I find more joy working with other engineers and solving niche complex problems, and build value. There is a lot of work and pressure for a business analyst when capturing epics, user stories, bugs, and working with scrum masters to plan sprints, line up kanban boards, or adapt to what each small dev team follows. I am looking to solve and assist in creating business solutions to improve production apps with Q.A, Automation deployment, API automation, load test development, performance monitor development, publisher subscription message bus configuration (Rabbit MQ), Security, and F5 load balancing, application security management (ASM), operations, online marketing, information technologies, software development, data management, and report building, disaster recovery planning, new product development, and the list goes on to really capture all of the data types I've been able to be part of across the full stack. You can learn more about me by visiting my website at www.JohnEliopoulos.com . I think my skill set will meet the team’s requirements and I hope we can build a long working relationship from this introduction.
Respectfully,
John Eliopoulos
