- First Contact Resolution (FCR) targets through technical guidance and knowledge base management.
- Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) reductions by optimizing troubleshooting workflows.
- Response and Resolution Service Level Agreements (SLAs) across different priority levels.

- Identify recurring incidents and work closely with problem management teams to address root causes.

3. Reporting, Analytics & Presentations

- Leverage MS Excel (including pivot tables, advanced formulas, VLOOKUPs, and data visualization) to analyze ticket trends, volume spikes, and engineer performance.




- Design and prepare polished, executive-ready presentations using MS PowerPoint to support Monthly/Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) and operational reporting for leadership.
- Build and maintain intuitive reporting dashboards within the ITSM platform to give real-time visibility into support health.
