About

IT Support Specialist with hands-on experience delivering Tier 1–2 technical support in fast-paced, high-volume environments. I specialize in troubleshooting hardware, software, and network issues, resolving incidents efficiently, and supporting customers in secure, regulated systems. I’ve supported global users and customers across networking, connectivity, account management, and device troubleshooting, with experience working in remote and SLA-driven environments. At SpaceX, I was part of a select team that launched a new overnight support operation, which became the top-performing group across all support metrics. I bring a strong customer-first mindset, clear communication, and disciplined problem-solving to every interaction. My background also includes experience with monitoring and diagnostic tools (Grafana), ISP-level network troubleshooting, fraud detection support, and account management within regulated financial systems. Currently pursuing CompTIA A+ certification and actively seeking opportunities in IT Support, Technical Support, or Network Support where I can continue to grow technically while delivering reliable, high-quality support.
