About

Engineer by training.
Communicator by practice.

I have completed an MSc in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at the University of Greenwich (2026), after a BTech in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad (2022). My academic projects cover solar PV, MPPT control, wireless power transfer, PCB design and embedded systems.

Since 2022 I have worked in customer roles: two years of virtual international support at Amazon Development Center (Europe and North America), resolving account, access and transaction issues, and front-line retail service at B&M Bargains since September 2024.

I’m now pursuing an MSc in Project Planning and Management at the University of Bradford, adding project design, implementation and financial appraisal to my engineering foundation.

I'm seeking opportunities in electrical engineering, technical support, customer support, customer-facing technical roles and crypto/blockchain customer support.

Customer Service Associate & Store Operations

B&M Bargains · UK

Customer situation
Front-line queries, refunds, complaints and stock questions in a busy high-volume retail store.
My responsibility
Resolve queries first time, process POS and cash transactions accurately, support stock replenishment and store operations, and de-escalate complaints within company policy.
Resolution process
Follow operational procedures; support onboarding and training of new colleagues.
Transferable value
Trusted to keep service accurate and calm under daily high footfall — handling payments, complaints and new-colleague support within policy. The same skills drive SLA-based ticket queues, escalation handling and customer retention in technical and Web3 support roles.

My support mindset.

Illustrative workflow · not a recorded workday
  1. 01

    Understand

    Listen to the query and clarify the issue.

  2. 02

    Investigate

    Use a root-cause mindset to identify the problem.

  3. 03

    Resolve

    Communicate clearly and escalate when needed.

  4. 04

    Follow through

    Keep the customer informed and document the resolution.

Dual Intelligence Network

Where the evidence connects.

Lines appear only where a documented engineering skill and a documented customer-facing duty share the same method. Select a node to see the evidence.

  • Fault analysis & testing ↔ Root cause analysis

    Both trace a symptom back to its cause — in a circuit and in a recurring account issue.

  • Iterative debugging ↔ Complex issue resolution

    Iterating until a fault is fixed mirrors working a complex customer issue to resolution.

  • Technical documentation ↔ Cross-team communication

    Recording procedures and results clearly supports handing work across teams.

  • Efficiency analysis ↔ Customer data analysis

    Analysing measurements to find losses parallels finding trends in customer data.

Skills

Two disciplines. One mindset.

Technical

  • Power electronics & MPPT
  • PCB design
  • Embedded systems (STM32, Arduino)
  • MATLAB / Simulink
  • Networking fundamentals
  • System troubleshooting

Customer-facing

  • Front-line retail customer service
  • Query resolution & escalations
  • Root cause analysis
  • Working to CSAT, AHT & SLA KPIs
  • Cross-team collaboration
  • Onboarding & mentoring

Career interest · Crypto & blockchain

Supporting customers in Web3.

I’m interested in customer support and operations roles at crypto and blockchain companies. My background in account, access and transaction support, plus a systems-level engineering mindset, transfers to helping users with wallets, transactions and account security.

  • ◆Crypto customer support
  • ◆Blockchain operations support
  • ◆Exchange / wallet user support
  • ◆Technical support for Web3 products

What I bring to a crypto support desk

  • Tracing deposits & withdrawals by transaction hash on block explorers
  • Explaining confirmations, network fees (gas) and wrong-network deposits
  • Account security: 2FA, phishing and scam awareness
  • Never asking for seed phrases or private keys — self-custody basics
  • KYC / AML verification flows handled patiently and in policy
  • Calm escalation for stuck transactions and locked accounts

Interest area: no paid crypto work experience yet — transferable from account, access and transaction support at Amazon.

A note to my next team

Technical depth.
Human connection.

I’m Shivakumar, an Electrical and Electronics Engineering MSc graduate from the University of Greenwich.

I’m currently pursuing a msc project planning and management at the University of Bradford, UK.

My academic work spans power electronics, embedded systems and testing. My experience at Amazon Development Center and B&M Bargains brings the customer’s perspective into that technical foundation.

I’m looking for a team where I can investigate problems, communicate clearly and keep learning — in electrical engineering, technical support or customer-facing technical work.

If that’s what your team needs, I’d welcome a conversation.
