Need a customer support professional who can actually solve problems instead of simply answering tickets?
I bring 14+ years of experience in customer service, technical support, escalations, back-office operations, and e-commerce support.
I specialize in:
Customer service via email, chat, and phone
Zendesk & Freshdesk ticket management
Escalation handling and problem resolution
Shopify refunds, cancellations & order support
Salesforce
Technical troubleshooting
VIP/high-value customer support
Back-office administration
Creating and improving customer service processes
Handling difficult or sensitive customer situations
I've worked in fast-paced environments where accuracy, professionalism, empathy, and speed matter. I'm comfortable working independently, managing high ticket volumes, following SOPs, identifying process problems, and taking ownership of issues through resolution.
If you need someone who can step into your support operation and start helping immediately, I'd love to help.

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.
