Yamaguchi joined the Japanese AWS User Group (JAWS-UG) in 2014 and has since managed 35 events including the reboot of Fin-JAWS (Financial-JAWS), and the JAWS-UG Chiba Chapter in 2019.

Yamaguchi organized the 2021 JAWS-UG online event (JAWS DAYS 2021).

In recognition of these activities, he received the AWS Samurai 2020 Award.
