If your support volume is growing faster than your systems—or your team is drowning in tickets that should never reach a human—that's exactly the problem I fix. I've spent 8 years inside CX operations across SaaS, eCommerce, EdTech, and video gaming. Not in a strategy role—hands-on. Building the systems, running the inbox, training the AI, fixing what's broken, and staying long enough to make sure it holds. I approach every engagement the same way: understand what's broken before building anything. That means auditing support flows, ticket patterns, and where customers get stuck—then fixing the right things, not just the obvious ones. At SquadTrip, I was the only CX person at a 7-person startup for 6 months. I built their VoC program, redesigned onboarding, launched a Fin AI Agent that resolved 55% of tickets automatically, and grew activation 2.3x. At Leya AI, I migrated their full support stack from Zendesk to Intercom, built a self-serve ecosystem, and moved CSAT from 69% to 91% — with 61% self-service resolution — over 15 months. On the eCommerce side, I set up Intercom and Shopify for Try Doggo Labs at launch and am building end-to-end support operations for an active fitness eCommerce brand. At Manifest Movies, I set up their Intercom + Stripe system from day one. At Arise Gaming, I led a 110-member global support team across EMEA, LATAM, and APAC. CSAT went from 79% to 92%. FRT dropped from 3 hrs to 1.48 hrs. I don't hand over a plan and disappear. I stay, run the system, improve it, and make sure it outlasts my involvement. What I typically own in a long-term engagement: - Customer support operations — inbox setup, team inbox structure, routing rules, SLA configuration, escalation logic, macros, quality - Fin AI Agent — Procedures, Simulations, resolution rate optimization, and AI Copilot configuration for human agents - Voice of Customer programs—CSAT, NPS, CES surveys, ticket tagging, user interviews, closed-loop feedback to product, churn signal tracking - Self-serve support and ticket deflection—Help Center structuring for AI, knowledge base, in-product help triggers, support deflection strategy - Customer journey mapping — identifying drop-off points, friction, and moments of truth across the full lifecycle - Lifecycle emails and customer lifecycle management—onboarding, activation, retention, re-engagement, A/B testing - Automation—Intercom Workflows, Make, n8n, Zapier, support automation - Service design—repeatable, scalable processes and SOPs teams can actually follow - Monthly reporting — turning CX data into clear insights for founders and leadership For shorter setup and implementation projects, I build: - Intercom from scratch—inbox configuration, team inboxes, routing rules, Workflows, automations, Help Center, Fin AI agent procedures, and Simulations - Zendesk setup—Zendesk Messaging, skill-based routing, SLA configuration, triggers, macros, Knowledge Base - Platform migrations — Zendesk to Intercom and reverse - Shopify + Intercom integrations for eCommerce support automation — order lookups, returns, shipping queries, escalation guardrails - Fin AI Agent and Zendesk AI implementation for SaaS, EdTech, and eCommerce products - CX audits—structured review of support flows, ticket patterns, and escalation logic, delivered as a clear action plan Recent setup work: - Manifest Movies — Intercom setup and CX project management for a streaming platform - Try Doggo Labs—Full Intercom setup for an eCommerce launch including macros, Help Center, routing, and tags - Fitness eCommerce startup (active)—Building end-to-end customer support operations, including Intercom setup, Workflows, and automations Results that matter: - 2.3x activation growth — SquadTrip (SaaS) - 61% self-service resolution — Leya AI (EdTech) - CSAT 69% → 91% — Leya AI - 72% support automation rate—Leya AI VoC revamp - CSAT 79% → 92%, FRT cut from 3 hrs to 1.48 hrs—Arise Gaming (Video Gaming) - 80% reduction in hold time — Arise Gaming - +14 pts email open rate on onboarding lifecycle emails—SquadTrip Tools: Intercom (Certified) | Zendesk | Fin AI Agent | Make | Shopify | Hotjar | Google Sheets | Slack | Claude | SQL (basic) | CX/CS Management If you want someone who'll stay and run your CX — not just set it up and leave — I'd love to hear what you're working on.

L2/L3 technical support is the strongest part of my background. Most of my work has been in escalations, troubleshooting, and issue ownership — cases that were no longer straightforward and needed proper investigation. My approach is to check logs, understand system behavior, reproduce the issue where possible, document findings clearly, and coordinate with engineering when deeper analysis or a code-level fix is needed. I stay with cases through to resolution. I have worked across cloud and on-prem environments on issues involving APIs, authentication, SSO/LDAP/MFA, ETL and data workflows, storage integrations, and recurring production problems. I have also worked in Zendesk-driven environments where response quality, follow-up, and clear communication mattered alongside the technical fix. My customer-facing experience includes large enterprise organizations across the US and Europe — banking, telecom, insurance, and other high-scale sectors — where the technical issue mattered, but so did clarity, pace, and ownership. My approach on every case: understand the issue properly, gather the right evidence, keep communication clear, document what matters, and move it forward. --- TOOLING AND PLATFORMS - Support platforms: Zendesk · Jira · Salesforce · ServiceNow · Intercom - Log and diagnostic tools: Kibana · Splunk · Elasticsearch · New Relic - Identity and access: Azure AD / Entra ID · ADFS · Okta · LDAP · SAML · MFA - Cloud platforms: AWS · Azure · GCP (across supported environments) - Infrastructure exposure: Docker · Kubernetes · TCP/IP · VPN · Load Balancers - Content and storage integration: SharePoint · Box · S3 SCRIPTING, AUTOMATION, AND DATA - Python — ETL pipeline scripting, API integration, data processing, automation tooling - SQL — PostgreSQL and MS SQL Server; database-level investigation, query-driven root cause analysis - PowerShell — file system automation, metadata extraction, CSV/JSON export pipelines, operational scripting - Power Query (M) — multi-source ETL, schema normalization, incremental refresh, reconciliation workflows - Excel VBA — orchestration, validation, reporting automation, self-service operational tooling - REST API — integration troubleshooting, structured request/response analysis, consumption scripting - Power BI — dashboard-ready data preparation, operational reporting, visualization - Automation — Zendesk and Jira triggers, webhooks, workflow automation, AI-assisted routing AI AND LLM WORK - LLM integration — built AI-assisted support automation via Zendesk and Intercom with LLM pipelines; reduced response times and improved resolution accuracy - RAG pipelines — semantic retrieval, automated validation, LLM output consistency workflows - Prompt engineering and AI workflow design for support-side automation - Apache Airflow — workflow orchestration across ETL and data pipeline projects
