Hi Armory team, i thought i’d write a longer cover letter (with images!).
I am [very] excited to apply to join your team, since i have been dreaming of achieving a similar concept, on the state of delivering software.
At the last company i worked in, where i was a tech co-founder, i advocated for this model of delivery, where continuous delivery is not just a practice or a process, but also implemented as a system.
Our vision of our deployment, circa Apr 10, 2017.
We were able to set up some parts of this, using Gitlab as the ‘mother’ controller of the flow. Which i also consider as a good contender for being the tool to build-out this deployment concept.
And below, is the context diagram, of how the different components will be set up.

I eventually left the company mid of last year, to pursue this dream in a consulting basis. I started Next Level (http://nlevel.io), to offer consulting on software development process and practices, as well as delivery setups. You can read about my vision on this: http://nlevel.io/vision/
And some parts of the code that i worked on, i published them in Github: http://github.com/nlevel
I envision making Next Level Machines, as a way to implement tools for use in software delivery.
At the moment, i am exploring what may be my options this year. I certainly want to continue to work on this concept, and now that i have heard of your company, i thought maybe it’s a good idea to join your team instead.
I read from your site, that you’re not looking to work with remote roles, and is open to sponsor visa. So there might be a chance that working with your team will work out for me. 🙂
Though, i also consider, given a strong leader, you might even consider building out a team from my side of town (Cebu, Philippines). 🙂 Of course, i know, i’m getting way ahead of myself, so for the time being, i won’t mind working as part of your team in the next few years, while the business grow.
Alrighty, please let me know if it’s interesting to explore this further.
Many thanks!
Mark
