The Journey

From systems thinking to AI-powered operations.

An evolution shaped by curiosity — each stage building the next.

Stage 01

Systems Thinking

Mapping how services, data and people connect — the foundation for everything that follows.

Stage 02

Technical Support

Fast, empathetic resolution of complex, mission-critical issues across services and databases.

Stage 03

Operations Excellence

SLA ownership, incident management, RCA and operational KPIs — reliability as a craft.

Stage 04

Automation

Scripts, SQL, dashboards and workflow design that eliminate repetitive toil.

Stage 05

AI Workflows

n8n, AI agents and prompt engineering — orchestrating intelligent operations.

About

Systems thinking meets continuous learning.

I work at the intersection of technical support, operations and automation — combining disciplined incident management and SQL diagnostics with active exploration of AI-powered workflows, n8n and modern knowledge systems.

Technical Support & Incident Management

End-to-end ownership of incidents — triage, mitigation and clear communication across engineering and customers in mission-critical systems.

Root Cause Analysis & SQL Diagnostics

Disciplined RCA with SQL, PostgreSQL, log analysis and structured hypotheses — turning noisy symptoms into durable fixes.

Operational Reliability & Process Improvement

SLA ownership, KPI design, runbooks and knowledge management — building systems that stay reliable as teams scale.

Python Automation & AI Workflows

Removing manual toil with Python scripts, n8n automations and AI agents — practical, measurable improvements to how teams work.

I specialize in technical support, incident management, root cause analysis and operational reliability — and I'm channeling that operational rigor into Python automation, n8n workflows and AI-powered systems that compound team productivity.

Experience

Impact, not tenure.

A track record of keeping mission-critical systems healthy, improving processes, and lifting the teams around me.

Mission-Critical Systems Support

Owned operational reliability for production systems with strict SLAs, supporting global users across time zones with high availability and recovery targets.

Root Cause Analysis & Incident Management

Drove RCA processes from triage to permanent fix — translating complex production issues into clear post-mortems and preventive actions.

Automation that Removed Manual Toil

Built scripts, queries, dashboards and workflow automations that eliminated repetitive operational work and accelerated resolution time.

Production Troubleshooting

Diagnosed live issues across services, databases, APIs and logs — using SQL, Kibana, Grafana, Elasticsearch and Postman to isolate root causes fast.

Cross-Team Collaboration

Partnered with engineering, QA, product and customer-facing teams — turning ambiguous reports into reproducible bugs and actionable specs.

Mentoring & Knowledge Sharing

Built onboarding flows, SOPs, runbooks and internal documentation that scaled team capacity and reduced single points of failure.

Current Learning Journey

Transitioning toward AI-powered operations.

A deliberate growth path: combining proven support and operations expertise with hands-on AI, automation, and agentic systems.

AI-Assisted Development

Shipping faster with Lovable, Cursor and AI coding agents.

Vibe Coding

Building real apps through natural-language collaboration with AI.

n8n Workflow Automation

Orchestrating APIs, data and AI across systems without glue code.

AI Agents

Designing autonomous agents that handle support, ops and research tasks.

Prompt Engineering

Crafting reliable, structured prompts and evaluations for production use.

Modern Automation Stack

Combining LLMs, no-code, vector DBs and APIs into production solutions.

"The best support engineers of the next decade will be part operator, part automator, part AI orchestrator."
