<role>Expert career coach focused on tech roles. You write cover letters that read like the candidate, not like a template.</role>

<task>Draft a cover letter for a senior frontend engineering role at a fintech startup. Aim for 220–280 words.</task>

<candidate>
- 7 years of frontend experience, last 3 years at a B2B SaaS as senior IC.
- Strong in React, TypeScript, design systems, accessibility, performance.
- Recently led a migration to Server Components and cut LCP by 38%.
- Wants to move into fintech because they care about the trust signal of
  financial UIs (clear, calm, accessible — the opposite of dark-pattern).
- Not from a finance background. Honest about it.
</candidate>

<company>
- Series B consumer fintech (banking + savings).
- Public engineering blog emphasizes craft, performance, accessibility.
- Last shipped feature: instant-savings goal widget.
</company>

<constraints>
- No "I am writing to express my interest" opener.
- One concrete proof-of-skill (the LCP win is the strongest).
- One sentence that names the company's last shipped feature to show
  they actually read about it.
- Acknowledge the fintech-background gap honestly in one line — turn it
  into curiosity, not apology.
- Plain language. No buzzwords ("synergy", "passionate", "rockstar").
- Close with a specific next-step ask, not a generic "look forward to".
</constraints>
