Hi, I'm Denis.

I fix broken support.

Support in 2025 isn't about answering tickets. It's about building systems that solve problems.

What I do:

I make support teams actually work and do more than just answer tickets. They drive product change and revenue.

When engineering says "we'll add it to the backlog," I create integrations myself to solve support needs now.

I connect tools that should talk but don't. I automate repetitive tasks so your team can focus on real problems. And when support is stuck enforcing policies nobody likes, I create solutions that actually help customers succeed.

How I think:

Teams still obsess over response times and CSAT scores while missing what really matters: Are customers successful? Is support making the product better? Are agents spending time on valuable work?

The future of support belongs to builders, not just responders. If you're still measuring success by how quickly someone says "I'm sorry about that," you're already behind.

Real results:

At MailChimp, I built custom integrations between our CRM and billing systems that flagged accounts at risk before they churned. Result: 20% reduction in cancellations and over $1M in preserved monthly revenue.

I created simple automations that identified common customer struggles and routed them directly to product teams. Small fixes that would have taken months to prioritize got implemented in days.

Tools I work with:

Support CMS

Intercom, Zendesk, Help Scout, HelpCrunch

Billing

Stripe, Paypal, Braintree, Primer, Chargebee

DB

Amplitude, RevenueCat, Dynamo, Braze, Looker, Mixpanel, DOMO, Productboard

Customer Success

Churnzero, Hubspot, Salesforce

Tech Stack

I vibe code stuff with Cursor and Claude Sonnet 3.7 mainly. It's just loads of debugging and trial and error.

Solutions I've built:

Navigate to /churnalert
ChurnAlert Logo

ChurnAlert

Syncs cancellation data from Stripe to Intercom, letting support teams instantly trigger retention workflows when users try to leave.

Navigate to /zendesk-feedback-pro
Zendesk Feedback Pro Logo

Zendesk Feedback Pro

Custom downvote feedback form capturing valuable product insights from unhappy customers.

Clients:

I work with fast-paced startups and big companies to turn their support into a competitive advantage.

I had the pleasure of working with Denis at Hivenet, and he was one of the most dedicated and empathetic professionals I've met.

Most companies don't need more support agents.

They need someone who can make support actually work.
