RE: Notice of Resignation

Dear John Watson, Director of Engineering,

Please accept this letter as formal notice of my resignation from the position of Principal Lead Engineer at David Miller. In line with my 30 days written notice required by either party notice obligation, my final working day will be 2026-07-31.

This was not an easy decision. After careful reflection I have accepted an opportunity that moves me toward building developer tooling, a direction I have wanted to pursue for some time. The choice is entirely about that next chapter and not a reflection of my experience here, which has been overwhelmingly positive.

I am sincerely grateful for the mentorship, trust, and growth this team has given me. The projects I contributed to and the colleagues I worked alongside have shaped how I approach my craft, and I will carry those lessons forward.

To make the handover as smooth as possible, I will document my active work, prepare complete technical handovers, and help onboard my replacement before I depart. Please let me know how else I can support the transition over the coming weeks.

I wish you and the entire team continued success, and I hope our paths cross again.

Best regards,

Sarah Jenkins
