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.

Customers don't leave because of one bad moment they leave because nobody was paying close enough attention. That's the gap I close: responsive communication, efficient processes, and genuine care that keeps customers coming back.
I'm a Customer Success & Retention Manager working across SaaS, CRM, and Onboarding with several years of experience helping businesses improve customer satisfaction, resolve issues quickly, and build long-term customer relationships and provide a positive customer experience. I've supported businesses across Fintech, Banking, and service-based industries, working hands-on across leading SaaS, CRM, and helpdesk platforms along the way.
I can help businesses with:
Customer Success
If your customers only hear from you when something's broken, you're losing the relationship one silent gap at a time. I own the full relationship, and am proactive so nothing depends on a client chasing me for updates.
Customer Retention
Churn rarely announces itself accounts just go quiet, then cancel. I track engagement and account health so at-risk customers get a plan before they ever have to ask for one.
SaaS
New signups that stall before they see real value are revenue you're already paying to lose. I focus on getting customers to a genuine first win fast, so early adoption sticks instead of fading out.
CRM
A CRM nobody trusts is worse than no CRM at all. I keep records accurate and current, so your data reflects what's actually happening with each account, not what someone meant to log three weeks ago.
Onboarding
A rocky first 30 days is the single biggest predictor of an early cancellation. I build structured, guided onboarding that gets customers oriented and confident from day one.
Tools I work with include:
HubSpot • GoHighLevel • Zendesk • Freshdesk • Salesforce • Zoom • Google Workspace • Microsoft Office • Slack • Trello
What clients can expect from me:
Professional and friendly communication
Fast response times on onboarding and support requests
Strong attention to CRM detail and data accuracy
Excellent problem-solving skills
High customer satisfaction and retention
Reliable follow-through
Ability to work independently across different time zones
Whether you need a dependable Customer Success Manager, a SaaS onboarding specialist, or a CRM support professional, I'm ready to help deliver an outstanding customer experience while supporting your business goals.

I build AI-powered automation systems that help businesses capture, qualify, nurture, and convert leads automatically — combining CRM automation, marketing automation strategy, and Claude-powered AI agents into one connected system.
My team and I build production-ready AI agents and CRM automation workflows that can:
Capture leads from websites, WhatsApp, forms and other channels
Qualify prospects using intelligent conversations
Nurture and follow up with leads automatically so nothing goes cold
Answer customer questions using business-specific knowledge
Book appointments and consultations
Update CRMs automatically and route leads to the right rep
Notify sales teams when human intervention is needed
Connect AI agents with existing business tools, CRMs and workflows via API/MCP
What I can build for your business
AI Sales & Outbound Agents AI systems that communicate with prospects, qualify leads, handle appointment setting, follow up and move prospects toward conversion — built for B2B marketing, SaaS, and outbound lead generation teams.
AI Lead Qualification & Nurturing Systems Automatically collect lead information, score prospects, nurture cold leads, and route qualified leads to your sales team — eliminating the lead leakage that comes from manual follow-up.
CRM Automation CRM setup and workflow automation across platforms like HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Zoho, Salesforce and Google Workspace, built to stop lead leakage and keep your pipeline moving without manual babysitting. For teams that need it, this also includes business process audits and documented SOPs so the system runs without you having to manage it.
Claude AI Agent Development Claude Code / Claude API-based agents for real operational tasks — CRM data entry, document review, lead validation, WhatsApp sales ops — built with guardrails, human-in-the-loop escalation, and full activity logs, not just chatbot demos.
AI Customer Support Agents Knowledge-based AI agents that answer customer questions and escalate complex requests to human staff.
Technology OpenAI API • Claude • Claude Code • Python • JavaScript • n8n • Make • MCP (Model Context Protocol) • REST APIs • Webhooks • RAG • Vector Databases • CRM APIs (HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Salesforce, Zoho) • WhatsApp Business API integrations
Our approach We don't build generic chatbots simply for the sake of using AI. We build automation around a specific business process and measurable outcome: faster lead response, better qualification, more appointments, reduced manual work, and improved sales and marketing efficiency. If you already have a workflow that is repetitive, time-consuming or dependent on manual follow-up, we can audit it and determine where CRM automation or an AI agent can produce the most value.
