What I'm looking for
I am an IT Technical Support professional with over 10 years' experience helping customers solve technical problems across SaaS platforms, Windows Server, Linux, and networking environments. I combine hands-on troubleshooting with clear customer communication across email, phone, chat, video, and ticketing systems.
Throughout my career I have worked directly with customers, documented recurring issues, and fed actionable feedback to product and development teams to improve products and processes. I have experience in service desk operations, Level 2 support, system administration, and freelance technical projects.
I am multilingual (Italian, English, Spanish) and seek roles where I can continue growing by supporting users, improving tools based on real user experience, and contributing both technically and through customer-facing guidance.
