Naoya Hashimoto has worked on system designing, implementing, and system maintenance as an infrastructure engineer in a data center, a management service provider, and housing/hosting service provider for years. After he was introduced to public cloud services a few years ago, his career, interest, and motive shifted to the public cloud, including private- and hybrid-cloud-computing-related services (such as network, storage, orchestration, job automation, and monitoring), as well as to open source software.

He has been a technical reviewer of many books, such as Mastering AWS Development, Icinga Network Monitoring, PostgreSQL Cookbook, and Building Networks and Servers Using Beaglebone, all by Packt Publishing.
