About

Most support teams are not failing because of bad people. They are failing because of broken systems, tickets that fall through, chatbots that dead-end, escalations that nobody owns. I have spent over 10 years on the frontlines of that problem. From managing ground operations and load control at Arik Air to handling 30+ daily customer cases remotely at ASAP Tickets, I have lived every version of what happens when CX processes break under pressure. I know what a misrouted ticket costs. I know what a good escalation path looks like. And I know the difference between a support team that is busy and one that is actually efficient. That operational background is what drove me to build the systems side. I now design and implement automated CX workflows using Make, Zapier, Airtable, lovable and Typebot, not as a developer learning tools in isolation, but as someone who has been on the receiving end of the chaos those tools are supposed to prevent. What I do: → Build end-to-end support automation (ticket routing, escalation logic, resolution tracking) → Design chatbot flows that resolve issues rather than just deflect them → Create Airtable-based CX backends for teams without a dedicated ops system → Document SOPs and workflows for support teams scaling without scaling headcount Recent work: Through OL Mettle Systems, I built a closed-loop CX automation modeled on real eSIM support pain points, installation failures, refund delays, and chatbot dead-ends, using Make for routing logic and Airtable as the system of record. Self-directed case study, not a paid client engagement. Currently: Open to remote CX Operations, Automation, or Support Manager roles, and available for freelance automation builds via Upwork. Open to connect with hiring managers, founders, and ops leads who are tired of their support team fighting fires instead of preventing them.
