About

Hi, I'm the person who is ready to take your call at 4 am if your AWS uncontrolled bill is keeping you awake. Most cloud setups are not built in an optimized way. Not because engineers are not efficient, but because cloud providers make it REALLY easy to spend money and REALLY hard to understand where it's going. Why it happens: Because the engineers do not have the same experience or situations in the past. The invisibility of the bill which you have never experienced, that can get accumulated and will be visible only when the invoice/bill comes. I've spent 10+ years: - Finding out the invisible cost that doesn’t matter at beginning but it becomes evident when your business traffic grows. - By helping companies create optimized add only needed infra from Day 1. - Making DevOps less painful and automation actually automatic What I do: Cloud migrations, cost optimization, DevOps automation, cloud-native development, and finding expensive mistakes before your board does. If you're googling "how to reduce AWS bills", let's talk.
