.NET Developer Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last few years building .NET applications that pencil straight into production, and I’ve found that solid architecture and clean code make the biggest difference long term. At my last role I led a sprint to refactor a legacy ASP.NET app, cutting load times by roughly 40% and stabilising the API surface for a 24/7 customer portal. I’m looking for a role where I can bring that same practical focus to [Company Name] and help teams ship reliable features without adding complexity. I’m comfortable with C#, ASP.NET, Entity Framework, SQL Server and Azure, and I’ve worked across web APIs and data access layers. I typically leverage Visual Studio for rapid iteration, unit tests for critical paths, and CI pipelines to catch regressions early. I’m aiming to work where the stack is familiar but the problems are real, and I’ve got a track record of partnering with product and QA to keep deployment simple and predictable. One concrete example from [Previous Company] shows how this translates in practice: I integrated a new SQL reporting store behind a secure API, which involved schema changes, index tuning, and a small set of sidecar services. The result was a more responsive admin experience and a 15% reduction in dashboard query times. I kept the changes well documented and included as part of the team’s standard guidance so future work could move quickly with minimal friction. I’m open to a chat about how my background lines up with the role at [Company Name]. I can come in for a coffee and a quick technical discussion when it suits. Kind regards, [Your Name]
