- Participate in ITIL-aligned change management practices, evaluating infrastructure changes against clinical impact statements and establishing rigid rollback workflows before execution.
- Provide rapid tier-3 technical escalation support during critical service incidents, performing root-cause analysis and coordinating with third-party vendors to remediate system faults.
- Facilitate knowledge transfer, technical walkthroughs, and reverse-shadowing sessions with internal service desk and operational teams.
