Cover Letter
To Whom it May Concern,

My name is Artur Ergashev, and I'm a Denver resident who is aspiring to join your web development team. While I may be among one of the younger individuals applying, I am certainly not without strong experience in all of the major aspects of web design, development, and programming.

With over four years of practical hands-on experience with (X)HTML, CSS, and Photoshop gained through the unconventional approach of self-learning, I not only have a great deal of practical experience, but am very familiar with all the intricacies surrounding web development. The life of a web designer involves the practical considerations of accessibility, browser compatibility, and speed, I am dedicated to making all my designs match the standards of the most stringent clients, while making minimal sacrifices to the overall presentation.

In addition to web design, I have a great deal of knowledge in PHP/MySQL & AJAX development, skill sets which are growing ever more vital in today's world of interactive, dynamic websites.

Thank you for your time reading and considering my resume, I would love to conduct a face-to-face interview as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Artur Ergashev
