I am a long time techie/system administrator now living in Japan since 2008. An American, living in Japan, and working for a French company, but with an Asia-wide role - just a tiny bit unusual...

Starting in 2018, started a new position leading the Asia Pacific PMO that oversees the teams that deploy Dassault Systemes enterprise-level software. Providing training, tools, and templates for project managers throughout the Asia Pacific region - from India to Australia to Japan. Auditing and enforcing compliance with an ISO 9001 global standard for delivery quality in coordination with other regional PMOs in Europe and America.

Prior to starting the PMO role, I was a Project Management Professional (PMP), System Engineer, and System Architect with experience with Fortigate, Cisco, and Watch Guard security systems; Microsoft and VMware virtualization; EMC, NetApp, and Pure Storage storage systems; and Dell, HP, and Cisco UCS hardware. Years of experience providing technology advice, project planning, and strategic IT planning for companies ranging in size from 10 people to 10,000.
