Subject: Blood Testing Demo / Principal SWE Application

Hi [Co-Founder], [Co-Founder], and the Anima Team, I'm Liam[1]. I'm a hands-on SWE with 14 YOE with a track record of impact. I'm interested in applying for the open Principal Engineer Role at Anima[2]. I made a project to apply to your job instead of sending a traditional application. I completed this project in about five hours by leveraging Agentic LLM development workflows. I recorded a five minute demo, linked below, but here is the quick summary: 1. A Blood Test Alert Dashboard to reduce missed abnormal test results, thereby saving lives 2. Tech: Typescript data mocking, Offline Python ML pipeline (Training, Validation, and Inference), Vite + Typescript + React UI 3. Focus on solving a real problem rapidly and not getting caught on technical perfectionism 4. I tried to center clinical value and patient outcomes, demonstrating the same kind of thinking that I believe you're looking for. 5. I'm drawn to Anima because of the overlap between our goals. Particularly, I believe that I can accomplish my major learning goal at Anima (improving my product-oriented thinking), and I believe that I can ship real features that have a real impact at the same time. 5 Minute Blood Test Dashboard Demo Video If you're interested in seeing more, I have a lot more pieces of relevant experience to Anima, focusing on domains such as AWS, architecture, team culture, grassroots projects, teaching, sales, empathy, etc. I can also do Leetcode, if you insist. But I'll save that for a future discussion. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing back, Liam Zdenek [1] [Linkedin Link] [2] [Job Listing Link]
