Hello, I'm

Denise Maldonado Baney

Customer Experience & Technology Specialist

10+ years streamlining eCommerce operations, CX enablement, and system administration — Zendesk, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Shopify, and Magento. I bridge technical requirements and business goals to ship scalable, customer-first solutions.

About

I'm a Customer Experience and Technology Specialist based in Los Angeles with 10+ years of experience in eCommerce operations, CX enablement, and system administration. I've led large-scale B2B implementations, ERP migrations, and Zendesk rollouts — turning complex workflows into clean systems that move conversion, retention, and team productivity.

Today I work independently, advising small businesses and growing brands on Zendesk setup, Shopify launches, and post-purchase operations. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, and I've been remote-first for 5+ years.
