Customer support that doesn't break when ticket volume goes up. I help SaaS and eCommerce businesses build support operations on Zendesk, HubSpot, Freshdesk, and Help Scout.
WHAT I DO
✅ Customer Support Operations
I set up and manage email, chat, and ticket queues across Zendesk, HubSpot, Freshdesk, Help Scout, and Gorgias. Ticket views, macros, SLA tracking, escalation logic, and routing rules so your support runs the same way whether you have 10 tickets a day or 500.
✅ Helpdesk & CRM Setup
Configuring Zendesk or HubSpot from scratch, or cleaning up what you already have. Correct record structure, tagging, and inbox organization so your team stops wasting time hunting for information.

Customer support platforms get messy fast. Bad ticket routing, no automation, agents answering the same questions 50 times a day. I fix that.
Zendesk, Intercom, and Gorgias specialist. 16 years in support operations and 500+ helpdesk implementations shipped. Founder of Smart Instinct (Zendesk Advanced Tier Partner, Gorgias Solutions Partner, Intercom Solution Partner) and the senior consultant on every engagement.
Recent clients: SF Marathon (56% chat deflection on Zendesk), StraighterLine (online education, 150,000+ learners), Blockchain (crypto platform), ThighPro, and Genesis Digital (Intercom + custom Discord).
I first ran support teams for ecommerce and SaaS companies, then moved into platform implementation full-time. That background matters because I have sat in the chair your agents sit in. I build systems for how your team actually works, not how a vendor's demo makes it look.
What I do
Zendesk, Intercom, and Gorgias implementation and migration. Full implementations and configurations for Zendesk, Intercom, Gorgias, Freshdesk, Freshservice, Help Scout, Helpshift, Tidio, RingCentral, and Aircall. Data migrations between platforms, multi-channel integration across email, chat, SMS, and social, and clean handoffs with documentation your team can actually use.
Workflow automation and ticket routing. Custom automation rules, smart ticket routing, SLA management, escalation workflows, macro and template libraries, and business rules built around your real support volume patterns, not generic templates.
AI implementation and chatbot development. Set up and training for Zendesk AI, Intercom Fin, Gorgias AI Agent, and Pylon AI. Intent mapping, conversation design, brand voice tuning, and AI-enhanced routing that handles the repetitive stuff so your agents focus on the work that actually needs a human.
Help center and self-service. Knowledge base builds, FAQ optimization, customer portal customization, and deflection rate improvement. A well-built help center is the cheapest ticket you've ever had to answer.
Team training and ongoing support. Agent onboarding, platform training, process documentation, and retainer-based optimization for teams that want a long-term partner instead of a one-time contractor.
Results clients see
- 30-50% reduction in ticket volume through automation and self-service
- Faster first response times from routing that actually routes correctly
- Higher CSAT from workflows that stop making customers repeat themselves
- Less agent burnout because the system handles what the system should handle
- Reporting visibility that finally tells leadership something useful
How I work
One-time projects like migrations, new platform setups, and optimization audits. Ongoing retainers. Emergency troubleshooting when something breaks, and you need it fixed today.
To get started
If your support platform feels like it is working against you instead of for you, send me a message with what you are dealing with. I will tell you honestly whether I can help and what it would take.

I build Zendesk & HubSpot systems that cut response times and improve retention for B2B SaaS and Ecommerce teams. Top Rated Specialist with 100% JSS and 2000+ hours.
Most support problems aren't people problems, they're system problems. Slow first response times, tickets falling through the cracks, no SLA visibility, and onboarding that loses customers in week one. I fix the system and run it: the helpdesk architecture, the automations behind it, and the day-to-day support itself.
WHAT I DELIVER
Zendesk Implementation: Complete Suite setup, triggers, macros, SLA policies, dynamic ticket forms, views, routing, custom objects, and Guide help center configuration.
Reporting & Analytics: Zendesk Explore reporting, custom dashboards, CSAT tracking, agent performance metrics, and calculated attributes for clean executive reporting.
HubSpot Service Hub: Help desk pipelines, ticketing workflows, custom CRM properties, live chat, and knowledge base configuration (HubSpot certified, verified by Upwork).
Multi-Platform Expertise: Freshdesk, Intercom, Gorgias, and Zoho Desk administration and migration.
Customer Onboarding: Structured onboarding programs for complex B2B SaaS products, from kickoff to activation, that raise retention and reduce time-to-value.
Operations & QA: Email, live chat, and phone support for B2B SaaS and ecommerce, ticket triage, escalation management, and QA documentation in Jira and ClickUp.
RECENT RESULTS
1,200+ hours (8 months, ongoing) as dedicated customer support and onboarding rep for a complex B2B SaaS application, owning tickets, onboarding calls, and product feedback loops.
Zendesk Explore reporting dashboards for a US client, rated 5.0: "5/5 work ethic and dependability. I recommend that anyone take the opportunity to work with him."
190+ hours of mobile app customer support with full QA test-case documentation: "He completed the task in time, showed great communication skills, fortitude, flexibility, and savvy."
Email support workflow automation serving a 150K+ contact list with zero duplicate sends.
TOOLS
Zendesk, Zendesk Explore, HubSpot, Freshdesk, Intercom, Gorgias, Shopify, Jira, ClickUp, Slack, Notion, Google Workspace, Make, Zapier, N8N, Manychats, Microsoft 365, Teams, Automations, AI prompts, KRISP.
WHO I WORK BEST WITH B2B SaaS founders, support leads, and ecommerce teams who need more than a ticket-answerer, someone who can build the support system, document it, staff it, and report on it. Fluent English, 0–4 hour response time, flexible across US time zones.
Invite me to your job, and on our first call I'll review your current support setup and send you a concrete, prioritized improvement plan, before you spend anything.
