Shinichi Urano is a tremendous professional. I requested his services in an extremely time-sensitive environment to troubleshoot deployment issues for my new startup site. Shinichi went above and beyond addressing numerous back end build and deploy issues, working through the night to ensure I could deploy on time. He also proactively fixed issues I had setting up my custom domain. I was immediately impressed by Shinichi's cool and composed approach, methodically working through the task at hand. He is a pleasure to work with, exuding wisdom, genuine empathy and a sincere commitment to client success. I am so grateful to be connected with him and look forward to our continued working relationship. Thank you Shinichi from the bottom of my heart.

Shinichi is indeed a technology expert with a great deal of experience, going well beyond just AWS. He immediately came up with several options for solving my problem. We actually ended up working together to create the most efficient solution and we’re going to be sharing it in a blog article. He is responsive, professional, and thoughtful. I’ve learned a great deal simply by asking him some questions. I highly recommend Shinichi and I look forward to working with him in my future projects.

My company provides audio and video for professional fitness instructors in Europe. During the past year we noticed a significant increase of monthly AWS costs, which was disproportionate in relation to the number of new customers. Shinichi made a thorough investigation and identified the root problem. Together with our app developers he also ran tests on our iOS app. After a few days Shinichi held a great presentation that explained our issues and came with solutions that will save us at least €10,000 in a year.

Extremely talented, experienced, honest and knows what he is doing, initially since working the very first time with him i was a bit hesitant to provide him EC2 SSH access but later when i saw his confidence level i felt very comfortable working with him, he is not only knowledgeable in AWS but have great command over Unix CLI as well that help me to find few hidden issues in my WP code, Hence i would recommend anyone looking for support with UNIX, Linux and AWS shouldn't worry or look else where but reach out to Shinichi for help to resolve any problem or issues or any task to accomplish, Thanks Shinichi for all your help, great working with you !!
