What I'm looking for

I'm looking to keep distributed teams productive through hands-on IT support, endpoint management, automation, and clear documentation in an async environment with minimal user downtime.

I'm supporting distributed teams at Varicent through Microsoft 365 administration, cloud permissions, MFA, vulnerability patching, and global device provisioning. I help employees start productively on day one with white-glove remote setup support.

At MOST, I built a Python automation workflow using Google Sheets API, Selenium, and PyAutoGUI that reduced manual mass-messaging time by roughly 90%. My data analysis recommendations also contributed to a 15% increase in customer retention.

I've created and documented more than 150 support procedures, reducing average ticket resolution time by 30%, while improving communication across Bitrix CRM, Telegram, WhatsApp, and Discord. I also built a Google AppSheet tool for team schedules and daily task tracking.

Across SaaS, mobile apps, banking, municipal government, and gaming, I've supported users on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. I bring hands-on experience with endpoint management, Active Directory, ticketing systems, hardware troubleshooting, knowledge management, and asynchronous remote support.
