Great customer support doesn't just solve tickets. It protects revenue, strengthens customer loyalty, and creates the kind of experience that keeps customers coming back. If your customers are struggling to adopt your product, your support queue is growing faster than your team can manage, or recurring issues are driving frustration and churn, you're dealing with more than a support problem. You're dealing with a customer experience challenge. That's where I can help. I'm a Customer Success and Technical Support professional with 7+ years of experience supporting SaaS, AI, FinTech, eCommerce, subscription, and technology companies across North America, Europe, and globally. Throughout my career, I've partnered with startups, scale-ups, and established businesses to improve customer onboarding, resolve complex technical issues, reduce churn, optimize support operations, and build stronger customer relationships. I don't believe great support is measured by how many tickets are closed. I believe it's measured by how effectively customers achieve their goals, how quickly they find value in your product, and how confidently your team can scale as your business grows. Here's how I help businesses Customer Success ✔ Customer onboarding and implementation ✔ Product adoption and customer education ✔ Customer retention and churn mitigation ✔ Subscription management ✔ Customer lifecycle management ✔ Customer health monitoring ✔ Customer advocacy ✔ Renewal support Technical Support ✔ SaaS troubleshooting ✔ Product support ✔ Technical investigations ✔ Authentication and login issues ✔ Billing and subscription support ✔ Bug reproduction and escalation ✔ Root cause analysis ✔ API and integration troubleshooting ✔ Incident management ✔ Cross-functional collaboration with Product and Engineering Customer Operations ✔ SOP creation ✔ Help Center development ✔ Knowledge Base creation ✔ Support workflow optimization ✔ QA reviews ✔ CRM administration ✔ Ticket triage ✔ Process documentation ✔ Internal team enablement Industries I've Supported • SaaS • Artificial Intelligence • FinTech • eCommerce • Health & Wellness • Digital Publishing • Subscription Businesses • B2B • B2C Results I've Delivered ✔ Maintained 95–100% CSAT across multiple engagements ✔ Achieved a 98.33% QA audit score ✔ Supported high-volume customer environments across email, chat, CRM, and community platforms ✔ Reduced subscription cancellations through proactive retention strategies ✔ Improved onboarding experiences and customer adoption ✔ Built SOPs, Help Centers, and internal documentation that improved team efficiency ✔ Partnered with Product and Engineering teams to investigate recurring issues and improve customer experience Platforms & Tools Zendesk • Intercom • Freshdesk • Gorgias • HubSpot • Salesforce • Richpanel • Help Scout • Shopify • WooCommerce • BigCommerce • Stripe • PayPal • Airwallex • Loop Subscriptions • Jira • Slack • Notion • Asana • Smartsheet • ClickUp • NetSuite • Fullstory • Microsoft 365 Whether you need someone to own customer conversations, resolve complex technical issues, improve onboarding, reduce churn, or strengthen your customer operations, I bring the experience, structure, and customer-first mindset to help your team succeed.

If your Microsoft 365 tenant is becoming difficult to manage, users are facing email or access issues, or your IT support requests keep piling up, you don’t just need general admin help — you need someone who understands how to keep your cloud environment stable, secure, and running smoothly. I help businesses, startups, and IT teams manage Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace environments by handling day-to-day administration, troubleshooting support issues, and ensuring users stay productive without technical disruptions.
