About Me
I'm a DevOps Team Lead and Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with 4+ years of hands-on experience building, automating, and securing cloud-native systems on AWS and GCP.
Currently leading DevOps operations at wesionaryTEAM — a remote-first software company based in Tokyo — where I manage infrastructure across 10+ concurrent production environments, drive DevSecOps transformation, and own CI/CD architecture, Kubernetes operations, and incident response.
I hold the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate and HashiCorp Terraform Associate (003) certifications. My work focuses on infrastructure reliability, deployment automation, and security — building systems that teams can trust and ship with confidence.
