@elvisgicharu
Customer-obsessed Support Specialist with strong B2B communication skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Customer Support Specialist with a proven track record in delivering exceptional service at JetBlue and Instacart. My experience includes managing high call and chat volumes while maintaining a focus on resolution and customer satisfaction. I pride myself on my proactive problem-solving abilities and ownership mindset, ensuring that I deliver solutions rather than just replies.
In my previous roles, I have effectively utilized tools such as Zendesk, Genesys, and Salesforce to provide support in fast-paced environments. My commitment to professional accountability is reflected in my consistent SLA record and recognition for solution ownership. I thrive in remote work settings, equipped with a reliable home office setup that allows me to collaborate effectively with teams and clients alike.
As I continue to grow in my career, I am eager to leverage my skills in customer support and data engineering to contribute to innovative solutions that enhance user experiences. I am passionate about using technology to solve problems and improve processes, and I look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead.
