@mhdyasir
Contact Center Solution Architect specializing in CCaaS migrations, IVR/IVA, and omnichannel CX optimization.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Contact Center Specialist with 14+ years of experience designing and optimizing contact center and unified communications platforms. I specialize in migrating legacy telephony to cloud CCaaS solutions and building resilient, high-availability contact center architectures.
I have deep hands-on experience with Five9, Amazon Connect, Avaya, Asterisk-based systems, SIP/VoIP technologies, and integrations with Salesforce, Zendesk, and ServiceNow. I design IVR/IVA flows, intent-driven virtual agents, and omnichannel routing to improve CSAT, FCR, and AHT.
I collaborate with cross-functional teams — application, data, DevOps, QA, and WFM — to implement API-driven automation, CI/CD for IVR deployments, monitoring with New Relic/CallMiner/Verint, and analytics visualizations in Power BI. I also participate in vendor evaluations, pre-sales solutioning, and stakeholder workshops.
My implementations have reduced live-agent dependency, lowered AHT, improved FCR, automated provisioning, and strengthened compliance and uptime through monitoring, disaster recovery, and multi-region failover strategies. I bring practical automation skills (PowerShell, Python) and strong process and change-management discipline.
