What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a technical support or help desk role where I can resolve Tier 1/Tier 2 issues, improve first-contact resolution, reduce downtime, and support customers across remote, software, broadband, or IoT environments.

I've delivered Tier 1/Tier 2 support across Drake Software, Insight Global, teleNetwork, and Support.com, resolving high-volume customer issues across software, internet, broadband, and IoT environments. At Drake Software, I resolved 40–60+ tickets daily while maintaining 90% first-contact resolution and over 95% SLA compliance.

I've reduced downtime for commercial HVAC and refrigeration IoT systems, managed access for more than 1,000 users, and diagnosed RF, cabling, modem, and router issues in the field. I bring 12+ years of troubleshooting, incident documentation, remote support, and customer-focused resolution work.
