Summary

As a Microsoft Engineer, I worked exclusively as a Subject Matter Expert and a Critical Situations Engineer for Microsoft Teams, the leading platform for collaboration and communication. I have three years of experience in this role, and I have gained extensive knowledge and skills in troubleshooting and resolving complex technical issues for high-end clients across various domains and industries.

I thrive under pressure and in a target-focused environment, and I always deliver results with excellence and integrity.
