First off, thank you for taking the time to view this page. I sincerely appreciate your time and consideration during my recent interview. I've taken your feedback seriously and have decided to showcase/improve upon my terraform and AWS skills.
This webpage is being served from an NGINX container running on Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) in AWS. The entire environment was provisioned using Terraform and is composed of several modules:
All infrastructure and application resources are managed as code, demonstrating my proficiency with AWS, Kubernetes, and Terraform. You can view the full source code and Terraform configuration for this environment on the GitLab repository you've already been added to: https://gitlab.com/connorwood/secdevops_candidate_lab/-/tree/interview
If you can't already tell, I am quite persistant about pursuing a career at Privateer. I'm not joking when I say that I have never felt a stronger pull to a single company than I feel towards Privateer Space right now. The mission and the pace at which you move as a startup aligns exactly with the drive and ambition I’ve been searching for in my career. I thrive in environments where purpose and direction are clear, and I know that joining your team would give me the sense of meaning and focus I’m eager to contribute to. Privateer isn’t just a company to me—it’s where I see myself making an impactful difference and career, and that’s why I’m so excited about the opportunity to work with you.
You mentioned that the culture fit feels like a perfect match, and I couldn’t agree more. I know that I can bring a lot of value to your team through the soft skills that are hard to teach but so important to have. More than that, though, this project is proof that I can also be the strong technical engineer that you need me to be.
That being said, I'm kindly asking for a second chance at a technical interview. Since our last conversation, I've dedicated myself to improving my AWS and Terraform skills, as evidenced by this deployed environment. I am eager to contribute, learn, and grow with your team.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope this demonstration shows my commitment and enthusiasm for joining your team.
