FROM ISSUE TO SYSTEM
Support issues that kept repeating. Systems I built to prevent them.
Each started as a recurring support problem. Each became a clearer workflow, a stronger fix, or a system the team now relies on.
BILLING ยท AUTOMATION
6h โ 10m0 errors
BEFORE
Manual database queries & exports, human calculations, 6 hours every billing cycle
AFTER
Databricks pipeline runs automatically. 10 minutes. Every time.
The process had no owner and no timeline. It does now, and it runs itself.
finance + back-office rely on this monthly โ
INCIDENTS ยท KNOWLEDGE
75h+saved / month
BEFORE
20 min per report, copy-pasting into AI, often skipped entirely
AFTER
Structured RCA in seconds. Whole team uses it. Zero training needed.
Now the whole team files them in seconds. No training. No friction. Just done.
3 to 4 incidents per day ยท 5 people ยท daily use
WORKFLOW ยท BEHAVIOUR
100%incident coverage
BEFORE
Incidents unlogged. No ticket trail. No SLA. No visibility, hence no improvements
AFTER
Every incident becomes a Jira ticket automatically. No extra steps.
Removed the manual step. Slack โ Jira automatic. Behaviour changed.
the insight was behavioural, not technical
DB QUERIES ยท AGENTS
0error risk
BEFORE
6 manual SQL queries per mFRR verification. One mistake affects live energy settlements.
AFTER
Rovo agent reads the ticket and writes the correct queries.
Now the right query arrives with the ticket. The error vector is gone.
high stakes: errors affect live energy markets โก

SUPPORT ยท AI AGENT CREW
the 1st hourof every ticket, automated
BEFORE
Every ticket waited for a human to start. Gathering context ate the first hour, for support and engineering alike.
AFTER
Every ticket arrives with the investigation already done: context pulled from 6+ sources, cited, safety gated. The human starts at the decision.
We didn't automate the support engineer. We automated the first hour of every ticket, and made it prove its work.
10 to 20 minutes per investigation ยท humans approve every action โ

HOW I WORK
I treat every recurring issue as a systems problem.
01
Recurring issues usually point to a gap in the process, the documentation, or the system itself. My job is not just to close the ticket. It is to make sure the same issue is less likely to happen again.
02
I write playbooks, RCAs, and runbooks because support knowledge should not depend on memory. Good documentation turns individual experience into team infrastructure.
03
I use automation to reduce manual work and remove avoidable risk. The goal is not speed alone. It is clarity, consistency, and fewer chances for human error.
