Technical Support Engineer

Mar 2022 - now

  • Performed networking troubleshooting with packet captures, DNS checks, and service logs; isolated a certificate-chain failure and gave the customer a verified recovery procedure instead of a generic restart request.
  • Handled on-call incident response with customer-impact prioritization, keeping a timeline of symptoms and actions; used customer service updates to distinguish confirmed facts, workarounds, and the next check-in.
  • Reproduced a customer issue using sanitized logs and the reported product version; supplied engineering with exact steps, expected behavior and a verified temporary workaround.
  • Owned troubleshooting for a recurring customer connection failure using packet captures, resolving a DNS configuration mismatch and confirming recovery with the customer.
  • Published an incident-response runbook based on on-call case reviews, reducing time to gather a complete escalation bundle from 35 to 15 minutes in rehearsal.

  • Introduced an escalation packet with logs, environment, impact, and attempted fixes. Kept the lower-effort process in place after handoff.
