Junior Technical Support Engineer
Jul 2025 - now
- With a senior colleague reviewing the change, 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.
- Within an assigned workstream, 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.
- Within the assigned scope, reproduced a customer issue using sanitized logs and the reported product version; supplied engineering with exact steps, expected behavior and a verified temporary workaround.
- Within the assigned scope, owned troubleshooting for a recurring customer connection failure using packet captures, resolving a DNS configuration mismatch and confirming recovery with the customer.
- Within the assigned scope, 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.

Mar 2024 - Jun 2025
- The team introduced an escalation packet with logs, environment, impact, and attempted fixes; my scope was data preparation, quality checks, and follow-up documentation under senior review. The team kept the lower-effort process in place after handoff; documented my assigned work separately from the team result and confirmed it with a senior colleague.
- Within the assigned scope, updated a troubleshooting article after reproducing a reported failure, separated user actions from administrator-only steps, and checked the procedure with a colleague using a clean setup.
- Within the assigned scope, reproduced a customer issue on a clean configuration, compared the working and failing settings, and tested the proposed correction without administrator privileges. Published a troubleshooting sequence that preserved the customer’s original configuration.

Technical Support — independent case study
Project team member
Sep 2024 - Feb 2025
- Within the assigned scope, the team rewrote 36 customer-facing troubleshooting articles with verified reproduction steps; my scope was data preparation, quality checks, and follow-up documentation under senior review
- Configured a separate test environment with a documented network diagram, account permissions and failure scenarios; captured the logs needed to distinguish connectivity, authentication and application faults.
- Tested the recovery guide from a fresh account, checked required permissions at each step, and added rollback instructions where a configuration change could disrupt the working baseline.
- Owned the recovery rehearsal using an isolated test account, resolved a missing permission prerequisite and completed the restore without changing the working baseline.
