Support desk

I provided technical support at Penn State Behrend: troubleshooting hardware and software, working through network connectivity problems, and keeping the IT inventory.

It was a queue of people who were already frustrated before they reached me, all with different levels of comfort with the thing that had broken. Diagnosing under pressure while explaining it to someone who did not want a diagnosis is a skill I have used constantly since, usually not at a help desk.

The assistant can answer general questions and uses approved portfolio sources for claims about Shreyas. It has no live web access.

Chat text is stored server-side for owner review and stream recovery. Clear chat removes it from this browser only; the server copy remains until Shreyas discards it. Automatic storage-pressure purge is not active in this build.

Raw IP addresses are not stored. Coarse country or region, device class, timing, cost, and abuse signals may be retained. Cloudflare runs the application and stores the transcript. For a generated reply, your question, recent chat context, and any approved portfolio evidence are sent through Cloudflare AI Gateway to OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Luna. Those requests disable OpenAI response storage and Cloudflare AI Gateway request logging. Use Contact to request deletion.
