Dear Hiring Manager,
I am relocating to your area and I am writing ahead of the move to put my name in for frontend roles on your team. The move is funded and dated, so I am not asking you to wait on a maybe, and I can start interviewing this week over video. The work I am proudest of lately is an onboarding flow I rebuilt where I removed 31% of the client JavaScript and brought largest contentful paint down from 3.2 seconds to 1.9 seconds.
I would rather you judge me on craft than on logistics, so here is the short version on the move and then the rest is about the job. Your team needs accessible interfaces, real performance work, design-system discipline, and confidence at release time, and that is where my best examples live. I can show you the onboarding rebuild, the measurements before and after, and the calls I made about what to cut.
That flow used React, TypeScript, Next.js, Playwright, and WCAG AA patterns, but the headline is the decision making. I worked out which scripts were costing the most, paired with design on the trade-offs, and watched the field metrics after launch rather than calling it done at merge. I would bring that same habit of measuring twice to your codebase from the start.
I would be glad to talk through the parts of your interface you most want to sharpen and how your team ships. Frontend hiring managers look for product polish as well as JavaScript depth, so I will keep the letter tight and let the performance numbers do the arguing instead of the relocation note.
Yours sincerely, Alex Morgan
