I'm Ahmad Zia Nasrat, a Registered Nurse with 7+ years of clinical documentation and record-keeping experience across hospital and humanitarian settings. I'm applying that same discipline — accuracy, consistency, confidentiality — to a growing set of data skills: SQL, Excel, and health information systems like DHIS2 and Epi Info.
Over 7 years in clinical and emergency healthcare settings have taught me that reliable information is a discipline, not an instinct — built record by record, shift by shift. From general medical-surgical nursing at Zubair Hospital to trauma and emergency care with Emergency NGO's surgical centre in Lashkar Gah, I kept patient records complete, consistent, and confidential even when the ward was full, and regularly compiled the departmental and statistical reports medical teams relied on. Earlier this year I was selected for the reserve pool following an MSF Nursing Team Supervisor recruitment process (Helmand). That process, and the recordkeeping at the centre of my clinical work, pointed me toward something I want to pursue more directly: the data side of healthcare. I'm now building applied SQL and Excel skills through self-directed projects, with a growing interest in data entry, data quality, and the health information systems — DHIS2, Epi Info, and similar platforms — that keep medical teams working from accurate, trustworthy data.
7+ years maintaining accurate, complete, and confidential patient records across medical-surgical and trauma/emergency nursing — verifying data completeness, correcting inconsistencies, and compiling statistical reports for medical teams at Zubair Hospital and Emergency NGO.
Self-directed practice in SQL and Excel, applied to real healthcare datasets and documented in a public GitHub portfolio. Building working familiarity with structured data entry and health information systems such as DHIS2 and Epi Info alongside ongoing clinical work.
Growing toward
Data Entry & Health Information SystemsSQL (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY, aggregate queries) and Excel (formulas, pivot tables, data validation) applied to real healthcare datasets. Comfortable with structured data entry, verification, and consistency checks.
Direct bedside care, medication administration, vitals monitoring, and clinical decision-making across medical-surgical and trauma/emergency nursing.
Supervise junior nurses and auxiliary staff during shifts, coordinate daily nursing activities, and support staff orientation and on-the-job training. Selected for the reserve pool in an MSF supervisor recruitment process.
Accurate, consistent patient records and departmental reporting across every shift — the kind of documentation a data-driven care team can trust and hand off without gaps.
Fluent in Pashto (mother tongue), Dari, and English, with working Hindi — multilingual communication for a diverse patient population and multidisciplinary teams.
Trauma centre experience with Emergency NGO; trained in Protection Mainstreaming and PSEAH (INTERSOS) — protection principles, prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse, and professional accountability in humanitarian settings.
Alongside clinical work, I practice SQL and Excel on real and synthetic healthcare datasets. Both projects are public on GitHub.
SQL-based exploratory analysis of a hospital readmissions dataset — identifying patterns in patient readmission rates through structured queries and aggregation.
Data cleaning and query design practice on a synthetic electronic health records dataset (Synthea), working toward realistic clinical data structures.
Working through applied SQL and Excel practice most weeks, alongside clinical shifts — building toward comfort with health information systems like DHIS2, Fuchia, and Epi Info.
