I have been in the industry for more than 10 years since the release of the first cloud service in Japan.
Then particular expertise in Lift & Shift, Modernization, and IT Infrastructure Operations Advancement.

As the technical manager of the first IaaS/PaaS released in Japan, I have been responsible for the planning, development, and operation of cloud services for more than 10 years since the first service was released on January 25, 2010.
I have contributed to the better understanding of services for customers and the enhancement of Fujitsu's presence by publishing, contributing articles, speaking at events, and teaching.
In recent years, I have also helped create new services by combining my knowledge in the field of DevOps/AIOps, drawing on my many years of experience in As-a-Service development and operations, and various technologies owned by Fujitsu.

Value Creation
Based on long-term experience in As-a-Service development and operation, I focused on SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) from an early stage and have been practicing operational reforms to evolve Fujitsu service operations that tend to be reactive into proactive.
In particular, as a professional in the field of virtualization and operations technology, I have created customer value and realized operational automation.
I am educating people both inside and outside of the company about the value derived from these practices and participating in projects of top companies in the fields of finance, manufacturing, logistics, accounting, etc. in Japan. In these initiatives, I am contributing to the creation of business by providing necessary advice on system building and practices.
