What I'm looking for

I seek a customer-focused technical support role where I can reduce resolution times, improve documentation, mentor teams, and work within secure, SLA-driven environments.

I am a certified IT support professional with over 20 years of experience providing Tier 1–3 support across SaaS platforms, enterprise software, and hardware systems. I specialize in troubleshooting, user onboarding, remote diagnostics, network support, and maintaining SLA-driven incident resolution.

Throughout my career I reduced ticket resolution times and system downtime, authored standard support guides (including a gRPC API guide), and led regression testing that cut defect rates. I have strong experience with ticketing/CRM systems (Freshdesk, Assyst, Salesforce), networking (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPN), Active Directory, and database support using SQL.

I prioritize clear client communication, cross-functional collaboration, and knowledge-base documentation to improve team efficiency and customer satisfaction. I hold an Enhanced Reliability Security Clearance and have delivered secure infrastructure and compliance-focused support in high-volume environments.
