Dear Hiring Team at Speed TalentHq,
I am writing to express my interest in a Backend / Software Engineer opportunity at Speed TalentHq. I am a backend-focused software engineer with practical experience building
scalable, real-world applications using Node.js, Express, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and
modern JavaScript/TypeScript.
I have hands-on experience delivering production-ready RESTful APIs across domains such as e-commerce, payment systems, automation, and logistics. One of my key projects, RefillXpress (a gas delivery platform), involved designing backend architecture for users, riders, and vendors, implementing secure JWT-based authentication, integrating Paystack and Korapay payment gateways, and optimizing database queries, resulting in a measurable improvement in API performance under load.
Through internships and structured training programs, I have developed strong fundamentals in backend engineering, including database design, API security, error handling, performance optimization, and clean architecture. I am comfortable collaborating with frontend developers, documenting APIs with Postman and Swagger, and deploying applications using platforms such as Render and Vercel.
I thrive in environments that encourage continuous learning, mentorship, and hands-on problem solving, and I am eager to contribute my skills while growing under the guidance of experienced engineers.
I am confident that my technical foundation, work ethic, and passion for backend development would allow me to add value to Speed TalentHq's projects. I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss how I can contribute to your team.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Kind regards,
Mijoghene Digban
