 Cover Letter

Hi Jonathan and James,

My name is Aman and I have been helping startups launch digital products since 2009. I am a full-stack
developer and a product architect.

I have worked with several SaaS and eCommerce companies and I understand many challenges which come up
during the operations (as well).

I will be happy to help you launch your product. I would aim to architect the product in such a way that it's
easier for us to integrate with WooCommerce, BigCommerce and Magento as well in the future.

I look forward to getting an opportunity to work with you and build something we can all be proud of!

Aman

this stage won’t be to optimize the code-coverage)

to keep it lean)
5. I will set up Google Tag Manager, but rest of the tags will need to be managed by some expert

drip or email sequencing (often used for lead nurturing) in this scope
