Second and third-line fixes the help desk can't crack
IT support engineer with seven years handling the second and third-line problems the help desk escalates, at companies in Munich. The engineer who picks up the issues first-line can't crack — servers, networks, identity and the awkward cross-system faults — and fixes them properly while improving the systems so they break less. Cut escalations through better tooling and documentation and led a desktop and patching automation rollout. Resolves escalated incidents, administers servers, networks and endpoints, automates support and deployment, improves systems and knowledge, and mentors first-line staff. Technical, methodical and a calm troubleshooter. Looking for a senior support-engineer or systems role with a company that has interesting problems and values doing them right.
