I'm a Technical Support Engineer specialising in escalated diagnostics across the full stack — from UI and API-layer bugs down to USB hardware, firmware edge cases, and packet-level network analysis.

My edge is the bridge between customers and engineering: I investigate, document with precision, and prevent recurrence. My structured defect reports directly influence product roadmaps.

With a Google Advanced Data Analytics certification and growing skills in Python, JavaScript, and MySQL, I'm expanding into data-driven support engineering — understanding failure patterns at scale.

My goal: join a world-class engineering organisation — Google, IBM, Meta, JP Morgan, Amazon, or Microsoft — where rigour, speed, and quality are the absolute baseline.
