About

I'm a senior support specialist at a tech company in Switzerland, currently moving toward support operations and AI agent management. I spend my days at the overlap of technical support, system design, and workflow automation.

In practice that means handling hundreds of tickets a week, working directly with AI tooling and building the things that didn't exist yet. You can see a live example of my work below.

Before moving into support I spent two years managing a multi-million dollar ARR portfolio of global strategic accounts, including Nestlé and Bang & Olufsen.

I'm independent and internally motivated. I work well with clients and stakeholders, and even better when left alone to build something.

Projects

Slack → Intercom handoff fix

Closing the gap where tickets fell through

The problem

When support team members replied to customer threads internally in Slack, the customer's Intercom conversation stayed closed — meaning customers never received the answer.

What I built

A webhook-based integration between Slack and Intercom that automatically reopens a customer's conversation when an internal Slack reply is posted in the relevant thread. No more dropped handoffs between internal discussion and customer-facing support.

I'm looking for support operations, AI agent management, and business systems roles — particularly at companies where support is treated as a product problem, not just a cost centre.

Based in Zürich. Open to roles across Europe, fully remote, or in-person in the US and Canada. Dutch national — visa sponsorship required for North America.
