Early Background
I was hired early on to fix a Discord server that was made by hired help. I re-configured all the roles and permissions to keep the server secure. Followed by a multitude of setting up various Discord bots to take care of different jobs (Moderation, analytics, automation, community engagement, and more). I then proceeded to train the staff on how Discord works and how to moderate the chat to ensure a safe community. I offered to help handle things until their launch of their product at which time I helped facilitate the ticket system I installed for them and helped run customer support. After a successful launch I was offered to come on with a contractual base as their Head of Community.
