I don't just answer customer support tickets, I study what they reveal about the product. Most early-stage SaaS teams have founders or engineers stuck in the inbox, context-switching between building and supporting users. Every hour spent in the inbox or on Social Media is an hour not spent shipping, and every ticket closed without extracting the product signal is a missed chance to improve the product. I take that load off the team, resolve issues accurately the first time, and feed the patterns back so the same issues stop coming back.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What I do:
- Triage and resolve customer support across email, chat, and social media channels like Linkedin, Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, TikTok for SaaS, ecommerce, telehealth, fintech, and digital products. Compliance-sensitive environments included.
- Diagnose technical customer issues across WordPress, CRMs, crypto wallets, email automation, DNS, and similar stacks.
- Write and maintain the knowledge base, FAQs, and SOPs that make self-service work and that give any AI support layer the accurate context it needs to handle tier-1 tickets without falling over.
- De-escalate billing disputes, workflow confusion, and other high-pressure situations without leaving the customer feeling unheard.
- Integrate support tools and connect them to automation platforms (Zendesk, Freshdesk, Go High Level, n8n, Make, Zapier, Gumloop) to remove repetitive work.
- Share the voice-of-customer patterns I see with the product team, so the friction users hit becomes input for the next release instead of recurring tickets.
- Design the workflows and content layer that lets AI support tools handle the easy 60-70 percent of tickets accurately, while humans focus on the rest.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why work with me:
- Multi-year support experience across WordPress com, crypto wallet with millions of users, telehealth, fintech, and ecommerce.
- Certified in Zendesk Customer Service, CompTIA Project+, Google IT Support, and Cryptocurrency.
- Comfortable explaining complex or abstract concepts to non-technical customers in plain language they can act on.
- Available 40+ hours per week including weekends, EAT (UTC+3), with clean overlap into UK, US East Coast, and Asia-Pacific business hours.

Most businesses scaling past their first hundred customers hit the same wall.
Support becomes reactive. CRM data becomes unreliable. Customers stop getting the experience they signed up for, and slowly start quietly cancelling.
I've spent 7+ years on the operational side of that problem, first managing front office and stakeholder communication for the Danish Refugee Council, one of the world's largest international NGOs, then building customer success systems for SaaS and e-commerce businesses where retention directly drives revenue.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Human Resource Management and I've supported operations across organizations ranging from 5-person startups to 300+ person international teams.
I don't just understand customer success theory. I've built the systems, inside real businesses, under real pressure, with measurable outcomes.
If you're running a SaaS company, a subscription e-commerce brand, or a B2B service business with an actively growing customer base, the warning signs usually look like this:
▸Churn is climbing but nobody can isolate the root cause.
▸Your CRM holds data nobody trusts.
▸Onboarding is inconsistent, some customers thrive, others disappear before month three.
▸Your support team is reactive by default, not design.
And every gap in the customer experience lands on you personally, because nobody else owns it end to end.
That is not a staffing problem. It is a systems problem. And it gets more expensive the longer it goes unfixed.
I'm not a support rep you manage. I'm a customer success operator you deploy, and I come with a complete system, not just availability.
The difference shows up in three numbers: your churn rate, your CSAT score, and your net revenue retention. Those are the numbers I focus on, deliberately, measurably, and from week one.
What my clients actually measure:
▸Response times reduced 60–80% within the first week, for e-commerce and SaaS clients managing 30–60+ daily customer interactions
▸CRM accuracy restored to 100%, duplicate contacts, dead records, and missing data eliminated across HubSpot, Zoho, and Freshdesk environments
▸ First-contact resolution (FCR) rate maintained at 85%+, across email, live chat, and helpdesk channels simultaneously
▸ Early churn reduced through structured onboarding flows that get customers to their first measurable win before day 30
▸ At-risk accounts recovered before cancellation decisions are made, through proactive monitoring, not reactive damage control
▸ Weekly executive reports delivered; CSAT scores, FCR rates, ticket volume, churn indicators, so leadership sees the full health of every account, not just the ones that escalate
Who I work with:
I work with founders and operators at growth-stage SaaS companies, e-commerce brands, and B2B service businesses who understand that customer retention is a revenue strategy, not a support function. Typically, businesses with an active and growing customer base where churn has a direct and measurable impact on monthly recurring revenue.

No pitch. No proposal template. Just a direct answer from someone who has seen this problem before and knows exactly how to close it.
