Writing tips
- Use the DORA vocabulary — deploy frequency, MTTR, change-failure rate — reviewers screen for it.
- Cloud cost savings in dollars is the most persuasive DevOps bullet you can write.
- Name certifications (AWS/CKA) in a dedicated line; they are hard ATS filters at many companies.
- Show breadth across one full stack (IaC → CI → runtime → monitoring) rather than ten tools shallowly.
