關於

當系統深度與真實世界壓力重疊時,我通常能做出最好的工作。

我最擅長的情境,是技術模糊、營運壓力與客戶信任同時出現的時候。我喜歡把混亂的事故轉化成基於證據的診斷、更穩定的溝通,以及真正能留下來的改善。

專業摘要

Sebastian Van Hemelrijck

高級支援工程師 / Bay Area, CA

我的大部分職涯都在支援工程領域,但真正的工作不只是回覆工單。它更像是仔細閱讀系統、在事故升級時保持冷靜,並建立足夠清楚的上下文,讓正確的人因為正確的原因快速行動。

這也讓我一路走向根因分析、可觀測性、雲端工具、自動化,以及跨團隊問題解決。我喜歡貼近技術細節,但我同樣重視交接品質、溝通精準度,以及修正方案在緊急情況過後是否依然站得住腳。

在 Unily,我支援 Fortune 100 客戶處理生產事故、事故協調與全端除錯。更早之前在 Direct Commerce、Jotform 與 Ritam Technologies 的經驗,讓我在 API、前端排障、自動化、SQL、報表與版本支援方面建立更廣的範圍。現在我正更深入地往雲端、可靠性、高階支援與長期技術領導方向前進。

我希望這個網站與未來的支援介面能逐步擴展成多語言呈現,起點會是西班牙語、日語、韓語、簡體中文與香港繁體中文,讓不同受眾都更容易使用。

方向

I am moving deeper into cloud systems, SRE-oriented support, and technical leadership while staying grounded in hands-on troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and the kind of cross-functional execution that keeps technical work practical under real pressure. That path also includes multilingual site support over time and selective consulting or 1099 work where clear ownership and operational depth are genuinely valued.

工作之外

Outside of work, 35mm photography and vintage restoration keep me close to craft, structure, and detail. I am drawn to quieter frames from places like Japan and the Oregon Coast, and to older machines like the Mercedes W124, Land Cruiser FJ80, and vintage motorcycles for the engineering behind them.

目前重點

貫穿其中的主線很一致:保持貼近系統、清楚理解故障模式,並留下比原先更可靠的結果。

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.

個人層面

技術工作很重要,但並不是全部。

攝影、修復老機械,以及對克制設計的偏好,也會反過來影響我理解系統的方式:結構重要、細節重要,而節制通常比噪音更有力量。

Personal 01

Photography

35mm photography is the main creative thread: atmosphere, architecture, transit, and quieter travel studies from places like Japan and the Oregon Coast.

Personal 02

Vintage Restoration

Restoring and rebuilding vintage motorcycles and vehicles like the Mercedes W124 and Land Cruiser FJ80 as a hands-on way to study mechanical engineering, reliability, and systems thinking.

Personal 03

Design Restraint

A bias toward clear, premium, minimal interfaces and products that feel deliberate rather than ornamental.
