AWS SA Professional
AWS Solutions Architect Professional with 14 years designing enterprise cloud infrastructures. Has led cloud migrations across healthcare, finance, and technology sectors throughout Europe and Asia.
Professor Kenji Tanaka is a cloud security specialist at GICCT, bringing more than fifteen years of experience architecting secure, large-scale infrastructure across the major cloud platforms. His career bridges enterprise engineering and academic instruction, giving students both the theory and the practical judgement that secure cloud design demands.
Background and expertise
He has designed and reviewed cloud architectures for financial services, healthcare, and government workloads, with deep expertise in AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. His focus areas include identity and access management, network isolation, and compliance-driven design. He has guided organisations through complex migrations while keeping regulated data secure throughout.
Teaching approach
Professor Tanaka teaches cloud security as a discipline of trade-offs rather than fixed rules, helping students reason about architecture under real constraints. His courses pair live labs on cloud accounts with the architectural thinking that separates a working deployment from a defensible one. He leads the Cloud Security Architecture and AWS Solutions Architect programs at GICCT.
