Strength 01
Root-Cause Analysis
Breaking down complex production issues into testable hypotheses, validated evidence, and actionable next steps.
Senior Support Engineer / Bay Area, CA
Enterprise support engineering grounded in root-cause analysis, incident response, and systems depth.
I am a Senior Support Engineer with 9+ years of experience working complex enterprise incidents, isolating root causes, and helping engineering, product, and operations move from ambiguity to clear action across remote, cross-functional environments.
Open to remote full-time roles, with selective interest in consulting and 1099 work where support depth, incident ownership, and cross-functional execution matter. Over time, the site is also intended to expand into multilingual presentation across Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese for Hong Kong audiences.
Professional Strengths
Calm execution in complex technical environments.
A practical portfolio should communicate how problems are approached, not just which tools were used.
Strength 02
Cross-Functional Problem Solving
Working effectively with engineering, product, and support teams to shorten time to resolution and improve handoff quality.
Strength 03
Client-Facing Technical Depth
Translating deep technical troubleshooting into clear communication for enterprise customers and internal stakeholders.
Selected Work
A portfolio shaped around reliability, diagnosis, and clear communication.
These projects are positioned to reflect the kind of troubleshooting, operational tooling, and systems work that best matches Sebastian's background.
ConceptFocused on faster diagnosis and cleaner handoff paths.
Platform Observability Workbench
A support-facing internal workspace concept for correlating incidents, customer reports, and infrastructure signals in one deliberate operating surface.
Next.jsTypeScriptTailwind CSSObservability
PrototypeDesigned to reduce friction between technical and non-technical audiences.
Incident Communication Console
A placeholder product concept for streamlining stakeholder updates during active issues without sacrificing technical accuracy or operator focus.
Technical Focus
Built on enterprise support, observability, and automation.
The strongest through-line in the resume is practical problem solving across incidents, APIs, cloud systems, and support operations.
Critical Incident Response
Leading high-severity issue handling with calm communication, strong evidence gathering, and disciplined execution.
Cloud and Observability
Deepening practical range across Azure, AWS, Datadog, Kibana, and related infrastructure tooling.
Automation and Reliability
Using scripting, dashboards, and better workflows to reduce escalation recurrence and improve operational efficiency.
Photography
A quieter personal layer.
35mm photography is the main creative thread, with some digital work mixed in. The subjects stay consistent: quieter travel studies, architecture, transit, weather, and atmosphere without turning the portfolio into a gallery-first project.

Oregon Coast / 2025
Offshore Line
A wider coastal frame built around distance, open water, and the slower rhythm that makes the Oregon Coast such a consistent subject for me.

Tokyo / 2025
Vertical Grid
Tokyo gives me the kind of structure I naturally gravitate toward: compression, symmetry, and architectural scale without a lot of noise.

Oregon Coast / 2025
Cloud Shelf
This is the moodier side of the coast work: softer light, heavier weather, and long edges where land and water feel almost evenly weighted.
35mmCoastLandscape
The first pass stays restrained: a mix of real subject matter, travel references, and image-ready visual studies while the wider film set is prepared for upload.
