About

I'm a senior support specialist at Frontify, a brand management platform based in Switzerland, currently moving toward support operations and AI agent management. I spend my days at the overlap of technical support, system design, and workflow automation.

In practice that means handling hundreds of tickets a week, working directly with AI tooling and building the things that didn't exist yet. You can see a live example of my work below.

Before moving into support I spent two years managing a multi-million dollar ARR portfolio of global strategic accounts, including Nestlé and Bang & Olufsen.

I'm independent and internally motivated. I work well with clients and stakeholders, and even better when left alone to build something.

Outside of work I knit, crochet, and occasionally sew — find it at @bernoucreations.

Projects

Slack → Intercom handoff fix

Closing the loop between internal questions and client tickets

The problem

When product team members replied to supporter's threads internally in Slack, the customer's Intercom conversation stayed closed, meaning a lot of work for the supporter to keep track of which answer belonged to which conversation

What I built

A webhook-based integration between Slack and Intercom, running through n8n, that automatically reopens a customer's conversation in Intercom when an internal Slack reply is posted in the relevant thread. No more dropped handoffs between internal discussion and customer-facing support.
