I am inquiring about employment for the Robotics Software Engineer position.

I am currently involved with the Santa Barbara Hackerspace.
We were donated one of your robots and I have been greatly enjoying the process of restoring
the robot to a working condition. I believe that my previous experience in building advanced \cpp \space applications,
as well as my prior experience building and producing hardware/software systems,
will strongly relate to helping advance the work InTouch is doing.
Constantly learning and pushing my knowledge of new technical skills is important to me,
and it looks like this position, and working with the InTouch team would allow me to do just that.
I feel that the combination of my skills, as well as my desire and ability to quickly learn new skills,
could make me be a valuable asset to your team and help build better medical robots in the future.

I look forward to discussing my qualifications further and can be reached by email at
\href{loman.daniel@gmail.com}{\textcolor{color2}{loman.daniel@gmail.com}}.
