About job

Web Services (AWS) Japan I work as a Support Engineer at Amazon Web Services (AWS) Japan.
As a Support Engineer, I don't handle all AWS services; my specialty is Linux-related services.
My main is not only EC2, but also ElastiCache, Systems Manager, and FSx ONTAP.

What is support engineer?

My job is to help AWS users (mainly company people) resolve technical issues that arise on AWS.
I handle a wide range of inquiries, such as: "I can't access my website!", "I can’t connect via SSH!", "Some error occurred!" …and many more!

I also handle third-party application configuration, troubleshooting, performance optimization, and architecture guidance.(Reference)

By the way, our office has a jungle inside—it's pretty cool, so check this out!

Also, I hold the AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional certification.

Web Services

I'm also interested in web services, and I built this site using:
  • Astro
  • Tailwind CSS
  • TypeScript
  • React
It's not part of my job, but I think I can handle it fairly well.

Computer Security

I also hold the Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) certification.
OSCP is a computer security certification focused on penetration testing—in simple terms, it's a hacking certification.
The exam lasts 24 hours, during which candidates attack multiple hosts, gain access, and escalate privileges.

Deep Learning

In graduate school, I conducted research on facial recognition using Deep Learning.
Therefore, I have knowledge of Deep Learning and Generative AI. (AI has advanced so much recently that I can barely keep up!)

Krav Maga

Krav Maga is a close-combat martial art designed for self-defense.
It was developed in Israel and is used by the Israel Defense Forces, CIA, FBI, and other organizations.
