What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own customer-facing technical support end to end for AI and product teams—delivering fast, accurate resolutions, de-escalating confidently, and mentoring others in calm, customer-first communication.

I’m a customer-first support professional with 6+ years of high-volume, multi-channel experience, including primary escalation support across accounts, orders, billing, warranty, and technical issues. I troubleshoot with structured frameworks, document accurately, and stay composed in high-emotion interactions to turn frustrated customers into resolved, satisfied ones.

In 2025, I founded SilentBladeCo and now serve as the sole point of contact for client inquiries across AI automation and technical projects, handling troubleshooting and timely resolutions via email and messaging. I proactively identify recurring pain points, manage billing and scope with transparency, and mentor newer team members on tone, process, and best practices.
