Erickson Cristal
@ericksoncristal
Technical support specialist transitioning into SaaS product support, specializing in integration troubleshooting and reliable, high-availability operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a technical support professional with 15+ years of experience troubleshooting complex enterprise systems and supporting business-critical operations in high-availability environments. I investigate and resolve technical issues, perform root cause analysis, and collaborate cross-functionally to deliver reliable service outcomes—backed by hands-on production support across mainframe and distributed platforms.
In my current role with Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a Data Center Technician, I serve as a first-line touch point for hardware troubleshooting, manage the full hardware lifecycle, and support disaster recovery planning and execution to maintain resilience. Previously, at Optum, I managed ITSM workflows in ServiceNow (Incident, Change, Problem, Service Requests) with a 100% completion rate while supporting 120+ Mainframe/Distributed/iSeries applications handling ~12 million batch runs monthly; I’ve also earned recognition as a Safety Lead and focus on workflow optimization and high-quality customer experiences as I transition into SaaS Product Support.
