What I'm looking for
I am a trilingual Technical Support Engineer with over 4 years of progressive experience in technical support and IT operations, primarily within telecommunications and enterprise environments. Currently, I achieve 98% SLA compliance while supporting a robust customer base of over 8,000 subscribers in fiber broadband infrastructure. My expertise includes working with Nokia Altiplano provisioning platforms, network troubleshooting, and providing cross-platform support for both Windows and macOS systems.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated proven technical leadership and strong communication skills, allowing me to simplify complex concepts for diverse audiences. My previous roles have equipped me with comprehensive IT support experience for mid-sized operations, where I managed all aspects of employee IT support and ensured minimal downtime across workstations. I take pride in my ability to identify recurring technical trends and collaborate with product teams to influence product roadmaps based on real-world usage feedback.
