CV angle

Highlight any technical projects, data analysis, system optimization, and familiarity with healthcare data and workflows. Emphasize scripting, cloud, and incident management experience, even if from clinical informatics roles.

Skills to highlight

  • Scripting (Python, Bash)
  • Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure)
  • Monitoring tools (Splunk, Grafana)
  • Incident management
  • Root cause analysis
  • Automation
  • AI tools
  • Communication and collaboration
