Cover Letter
Dear Hiring Manager,
I hope this letter finds you well. 🙂
I am writing to express my genuine enthusiasm for the Junior Web Developer position at The University of Notre Dame Australia, Fremantle Campus (WA). With nearly a decade of experience in front-end development, I am eager to contribute my technical expertise and creative passion to support the University’s digital presence in Freo.
Professionally, I built my foundation at Alibaba Group, collaborating with PD, UED, QA, PO teams as a big family, together developed high-performance websites and platforms. This experience gave me a solid technical grounding in HTML, CSS, JS, as well as developed a $jQuery-compatible library that served as the base framework for our website (https://github.com/xunuo/ai), I also worked in a mobile development department, implemented responsive designs that improved user engagement, and in a web security team, where I learned to identify vulnerabilities and prevent network injection attacks. Beyond front-end development, I have managed server rooms, maintained production environments, and am familiar with distributed CDN architectures and performance optimization techniques that ensure stability and scalability for high-traffic websites. I also collaborated with companies like Google, for example integrating Firebase technology for mutual benefit (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd3ouIoAK9U).
These experiences have not only strengthened my technical skills but also reinforced my professional principles: always acting with Integrity, Customer-First, Proactive, and embracing change in a dynamic environment.
I am currently learning Squiz (Workflow, Content Editor, Layouts, Components, Templates, AI Search Function among others). At Alibaba, we also built an all-in-one content management system called GCP, similar to Squiz DXP, to manage our campaign landing page visuals, content, i18n, A/B tests and web components. This experience gives me confidence that I can quickly get up to speed with Squiz.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume for your review and would be honoured to discuss how my background and skills align with the requirements of this position.
Sincerely,
Nuo (Snow) Xu
