Current role

ElevenLabs Customer Support Specialist Since November 2024 · ~35 tickets/day · Full English environment

I'm a technical builder with a full-stack background. Right now I work as a Customer Support Specialist at ElevenLabs (one of the world's leading AI voice platforms) on a high-volume, global support queue; I know its APIs and their failure modes firsthand, and I know where customers get stuck. When I build, I use Node.js, React, Next.js, TypeScript, Firebase, Supabase and Cloudflare Workers. And I ship. My own software has been running in production for years.
