About

The bridge between strategy and execution.

I'm often called a translator — I turn leadership brainstorms into actionable feedback and decode technical jargon for non-technical teams. I do my best work when it involves turning chaos into clarity, and I'm passionate about building systems that actually work for humans.

I believe in transparency and work to provide big-picture results with a strong attention to detail. My goal is to meet the needs of the organization while also promoting a positive experience for customers, clients, and people-facing teams.

My approach is rooted in continuous growth, creativity, innovation, and a deep understanding of support ops and their systems — but nothing you read here or on a resume will give you the full picture, so you should reach out.

Proof of Work

Systems I've built. Problems I've solved.

Age of Learning +60% Automated Resolution

From Reactive Queues to Automation-First Support

The Problem

Support ops was reactive — growing user base, no automation strategy, rising contact volume, inconsistent SLAs. The team was scaling headcount linearly with demand.

What I Did

Designed and deployed an AI-enabled support strategy using Ada, Ultimate.ai, and Zendesk automation. Rebuilt routing logic, trigger systems, and queue governance from scratch. Stood up KPI dashboards and capacity planning models.

Systems Implemented

Zendesk (admin-level architecture), Ada & Ultimate.ai (chatbot deployment), Zonka (CSAT), Metabase (reporting), Slack (escalation workflows), Jira (cross-functional tracking).

Outcome

Automated resolution up 60%+. Contact volume down 35%. Response times cut 43%. Platform scaled without proportional headcount increases. Promoted almost immediately.

Master & Dynamic +62% First Contact Resolution

Luxury Brand, Broken Support — Building CX from Scratch

The Problem

Premium audio brand with no structured support system. High-end customers getting generic, slow service. No Help Center, no automation, no journey mapping. CX didn't match the product.

What I Did

Built the entire Zendesk ecosystem from zero — workflows, macros, Help Center, and AI chatbot. Designed customer journey maps to identify friction points impacting retention and repeat purchase.

Systems Implemented

Zendesk (full build from scratch), Help Center (self-service strategy), chatbot deployment, CRM integration, Shopify integration, customer journey mapping framework.

Outcome

First contact resolution up 62%. Inbound volume down 33%. Service delivery aligned with luxury brand expectations. Vendor costs balanced against quality benchmarks.

connecTel Inc. +48% Resolution Speed

Inbox Chaos to Multi-Brand Zendesk Architecture

The Problem

B2B telecom support running entirely through shared email inboxes. No ticketing system, no SLA governance, no visibility into performance. Multiple enterprise clients, no structure to support them.

What I Did

Led company-wide migration to Zendesk. Designed a scalable multi-brand architecture supporting diverse enterprise clients. Built SLA frameworks, escalation paths, and reporting dashboards. Negotiated vendor contracts.

Systems Implemented

Zendesk (multi-brand architecture design), SLA/escalation governance, carrier integration workflows, CRM selection & implementation, vendor contract optimization.

Outcome

Resolution speed improved 48%. Operational costs cut 20%. Built the support model that scaled across the full client portfolio. Promoted to leadership within 6 months.
