Hi — I read your posting for a developer to build [PROJECT TYPE], and the timeline + scope are clear.

I'm a full-stack developer with [X] years shipping production web apps. On a recent [SIMILAR PROJECT], I [SPECIFIC RESULT — e.g. cut page load time by 40% and launched two weeks ahead of schedule].

For your project I'd start by:
1. Confirming the exact user flows and acceptance criteria
2. Proposing a milestone plan aligned to your deadline
3. Delivering a working staging link early for feedback

I'm comfortable with [STACK FROM JOB POST] and can overlap [TIMEZONE] for standups.

Two quick questions:

Best,
[YOUR NAME]
