@johanbrookes
Technical Support & Operations Specialist delivering Tier 1 support, accurate records management, and efficient workflow resolutions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Technical Support and Operations Specialist with experience in Tier 1 technical support, customer service, troubleshooting, and high-volume workflow environments. In my current role, I review and validate digital submissions to ensure accuracy, completeness, and proper routing through workflow systems.
I focus on resolving issues efficiently by communicating with internal teams, maintaining real-time tracking logs, and using tools like FMS and PASSPORT to identify errors and escalate when needed. I also support documentation accuracy and contribute to process improvements that help teams work more effectively.
Alongside support work, I’ve handled records and compliance through electronic contract tracking, digitization initiatives, UAT during system upgrades, and responding to subpoenas and FOIL requests by compiling and validating voucher records. I’ve also supported large-scale end-user environments and maintained strong data integrity with Docudata, Emphasys Elite, and Adobe Pro Suites.
