Introductions

I’m Brett Bowser (yes, like the Mario villain, no princess stealing planned). I’m a Community Engagement Manager at Zendesk.Why I’m hereTo hang out with you, make the community useful and fun, and make sure your feedback reaches the right folks. I run our forums, help shepherd product feedback with Product, and put on various virtual events here at Zendesk.Zendesk superpowerI’ve been at Zendesk for 10+ years, three in Customer Support and seven on the Community team. If I had to pick a superpower, it’d be the ability to empathize with users when they’re having a rough experience and to be their voice inside Zendesk.Off the clockHanging with my wife and our 6-year-old (he’s now in karate and swimming lessons) Herd

The basics: Hi everyone, I'm Tudor from Romania. Zendesk Certified Administrator (Expert), occasional Atlassian sidekick, and the person our company calls when Zapier needs taming and Okta convincing. I build things, break things, and occasionally Zap things that probably shouldn't be Zapped.Why I'm here: I've been working with Zendesk for a few years now, managing a large instance and consulting on projects across the business. I still find new ways to push the platform and new ways it pushes back. Always happy to trade war stories and learn from the community.Zendesk superpower: Turning 'that's not possible in Zendesk' into 'actually, here's how.Off the clock: Gaming, travelling, and chasing good food, drinks, and coffee around the world; ideally while learning about local traditions and culture. Back home you'll find me wrenching on my car, pairing a brand new Audio Technica pickup with a vin

Hi everyone, I'm Jacob from Jabra (Denmark). 👋I've been immersed in Zendesk for over 15 years now, and I'm always keen to discover new insights and share best practices within the community. My Zendesk superpower comes from having walked this path for a long time. I know the ins and outs of the foundational elements, where not to step (and, let's be honest, where I have stepped, learned from it, and acquired a unique set of troubleshooting skills in the process!). These days, I particularly enjoy getting into some of the newer offerings like Action Flows and App Builder to see what new magic we can conjure. Off the clock, you can usually find me in my workshop, knee-deep in beginner woodworking projects (my current floating TV unit is a saga!), messing up 3D prints, and heroically trying to keep my three kids from permanently merging with their screens.

Hi everyone 👋I’m Tobias, a Germany-based System Engineer at Zyxel Networks. I’ve been working with Zendesk for many years, focusing on building highly customized, scalable support environments, because standard solutions rarely meet real-world needs.My experience spans support platform architecture and optimization, workflow automation, system integrations, and AI-driven solutions like chatbots and intelligent knowledge workflows to improve customer experience and efficiency. I also work closely with enterprise networking technologies including Security, Switching, Wireless LAN, 5G, and Cloud.Looking forward to connecting, sharing ideas, and learning from this community 🚀

Hi. I am Stan, I work at Upwork as our Director of Innovation and Technology. I get to work a lot with various AI tools, including Zendesk of course. A lot of my time over the past few years has been utilizing our chatbot/AI vendors, one of which is Forethought - Very excited to see the two companies coming together. Why I am here: My former boss now runs the Zendesk Community (Hi Fran!), so I am posting more to cause him fear of what I may say than any other reason right now 🙊 Off the clock - Two kids and wife take up much of my time, born in Illinois, decade in Minnesota, and back in Illinois currently. Otherwise, I spend far to much time screwing around with AI, and my hobbies generally cease to exist as a result.

I'm here to support our group leaders and make this a space where you can connect and learn from each other.Zendesk superpower: Also 3 months in, so still discovering mine! But if it involves vibe coding and turning chaos into structure, I'm probably in my element. ⚡Off the clock: Deep in a JRPG, watching K-dramas, or wrangling my three very chaotic dogs 🐾
