Professional Summary

ITIL-certified Senior Support & Systems Engineer with experience across fintech, CDN, edtech, web hosting and enterprise environments. I solve problems, triage tickets, communicate and build relationships with customers and prioritise my work.

I have played a key role in developing and improving Customer Success operations by establishing processes that were rolled out across the global support teams. I lead improvements in documentation that saw a reduction in customer response and improved overall customer satisfaction by improving CSAT score.

My structured approach was underpinned by ITIL best practices and PRINCE2 principles, ensuring clear communication, and continual service improvement as my main priorities.
