Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my interest in the Machine Learning Engineer Level 1 position at Capitec Bank, which I believe is an excellent opportunity for me to contribute my technical expertise, strong work ethic, and ability to work collaboratively with others.
As you can see from my resume, I have extensive experience in server administration, scripting, software support, and troubleshooting. I have also completed several technical certifications, including AWS Cloud Practitioner, RED HAT System Certified Administrator, and ICP-ICAgile Professional Certified & Certified Disciplined Agilist. In addition, I have a strong understanding of machine learning concepts and have completed several courses on Kaggle, including Introduction to Machine Learning 2021.
During my time at Capitec Bank, I served as a DEV OPS where I deployed code to the INT, QA, and PROD environments via Pipeline and Powershell, performed server maintenance, and conducted change management. As a Machine Learning Engineer Level 1, I am responsible for building and testing basic machine learning models under supervision, preparing and cleaning data for machine learning algorithms, and assisting with implementing and optimizing machine learning algorithms and models.
In my previous roles at FNB Bank, SPI, MTN, IBM, and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, I gained experience in system automation, report generation, software administration, and backup operations, among other responsibilities. I have a diverse skill set in various programming languages, including Bash, PowerShell, MQL4/5, Python, and Terraform.
I am a self-starter with excellent analytical and communication skills, and I thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure environments. I am fully bilingual in English and Afrikaans, and I have a valid code 08 driver’s license with my own transportation.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute my expertise to the Capitec Bank team. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.
Sincerely, Jaco Moolman
