Profile

Forward-deployed customer engineer with 6 years of experience driving technical onboarding, API integrations, and production diagnostics.

I partner with customers to scope requirements, build working proofs of concept and live demos, and resolve authentication and webhook bottlenecks.

I also build AI agents, MCP tools, and workflow automations that eliminate manual triage and scale engineering operations.

Seeking APAC-focused and work-from-anywhere opportunities.

Core strengths

Operational Discipline.

Customer onboarding
I guide users through technical evaluation, product demos, implementation, and rollout.
API integrations
I troubleshoot REST APIs, authentication, webhooks, and transaction-signing issues with clear diagnostic evidence.
AI workflow automation
I build agents, MCP tools, and automations that make repeatable triage and operations more efficient.
Reliable escalation
I hand off isolated bugs with validation scripts and exact reproduction steps so engineering can act quickly.
Professional Experience

Customer & Implementation Engineering.

Forward Deployed & Technical Operations Engineer

Dec 2024 - Present
QuantsEdge AI

Customer onboarding, product demos, and technical operations for a trading platform built on Turnkey and Hyperliquid.

  • Onboard new users, run product demos, and serve as their regular technical point of contact.
  • Resolve API, authentication, and transaction-signing failures for trading-platform users, owning integration troubleshooting across Turnkey and Hyperliquid.
  • Built n8n, webhook, and internal workflow automations to scale customer and support operations without adding headcount.
  • Built real-time outage alerting and status visibility, so production issues surface internally before a customer reports them.
  • Authored repeatable triage paths for high-severity incidents and handed engineering isolated bugs, validation scripts, and exact reproduction steps.

Implementation & Technical Support Engineer

Jan 2020 - Sep 2024
Nomad Labs

Customer onboarding, implementation guidance, API troubleshooting, and Tier 2 technical support.

  • Onboarded customers and ran product demos as their technical point of contact across evaluation and deployment.
  • Authored a 10-article customer-facing knowledge base translating complex product behavior into clear implementation and integration guidance.
  • Used Chrome DevTools, Postman, cURL, network traces, Datadog, and Splunk to isolate root causes and deliver high-fidelity engineering bug reports.
  • Kept standard technical issues away from core engineering by owning Tier 2 workflows, troubleshooting API failures, and building repeatable triage patterns.

Operations Specialist

Jan 2019 - Jan 2020
MedMen Enterprises

Operations and systems support across regulated, customer-facing workflows.

  • Maintained daily METRC operations and systems compliance across user-facing workflows, account administration, and issue resolution under strict HIPAA and privacy requirements.
Selected Work

Evidence, Not Claims.

github.com/h-vance/aws-bedrock-ops-agent

Production diagnostics agent that turns incident evidence into ranked hypotheses, recommended checks, and escalation notes.

  • Serves identical logic over REST and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) from one deploy.
  • Bedrock calls are traced with OpenTelemetry GenAI conventions to Langfuse; the deployed demo runs in mock mode.

n8n Workflow as Code

Cross-repo integration
github.com/h-vance/n8n-workflow-as-code

Four n8n workflows authored as version-controlled TypeScript and compiled to importable JSON, with CI failing on source/artifact drift.

  • Three workflows call real systems, including live JSON-RPC into the Bedrock agent's MCP tool.
github.com/h-vance/edi-failure-triage

Mock-fixture integration diagnostics agent that classifies failed EDI transactions, ranks evidence-based causes, drafts a customer reply, and proposes a fix.

  • Runs as a CLI, REST API, MCP tool, and Claude Code skill; an n8n workflow turns an Intercom ticket into a triage note.
h-vance.github.io/prove-it-labs

Hands-on Production & Support Engineering course with 26 symptom-only customer ticket exercises across 9 tracks.

  • CI verifies every exercise fails while broken and passes when fixed against real Docker and kind clusters.
github.com/h-vance/postman-tse-incident-lab

Four customer-facing API incidents reproduced locally: revoked key, insufficient scope, wrong route, and rate limit.

  • GitHub Actions assertions verify each diagnosis.
