Dear Hiring Committee,

I am writing to express my interest in the Software Engineering Intern position for Summer 2024 at Google. With a background in development and community management, as evidenced by my role at Lubcubs Gaming, I believe I am well-equipped to contribute to Google's projects and goals.

At Lubcubs Gaming, where I have served as a Developer & Level Designer since April 2018, I managed a community of over 35,000 members. My role involved developing a community server, crafting plugins and addons for Minecraft, and leading marketing initiatives to grow our community. This hands-on experience has honed my skills in Java, C/C++, and web technologies, while also emphasizing the importance of community engagement and user experience.

In addition to my technical skills, I'm proficient in a range of applications including Photoshop, InDesign, Premiere Pro, and various Google Drive tools. My background also extends to project management and leadership, crucial aspects that I believe can be valuable at a company like Google.

Google's commitment to innovation and learning deeply resonates with me. This internship presents an invaluable opportunity not just to further my career goals but to contribute to a company I've long admired. I am eager to bring my passion, skills, and dedication to Google, and I am committed to giving my best, ensuring growth and success in myself and in the company.

I would be honored to discuss how my experiences align with Google's needs and objectives for this position. I can be reached via email at contact@mdcran.com or by phone at 407-205-9017 for further discussions or an interview. Thank you for considering my application.

Sincerely,

Michael D. Cran
