I lead and mentor technical support teams, standardize troubleshooting procedures, create knowledge-base documentation, and work closely with Product, Engineering, vendors, and business stakeholders to resolve critical issues.

I hold an MSc in Big Data Analytics and combine data analysis, business intelligence, machine learning, and operational support expertise to improve service reliability and customer outcomes.
