Cloud cost is an engineering problem

The biggest savings come from architecture, not discounts. I make cost visible to the engineers who own it, then change the systems that drive it.

What I've done

Built a near real-time serverless cost pipeline (AWS Lambda, Athena, Python) that showed every service owner their spend, saving over $1M a year.
Redesigned cache serialization for another $1M+ a year.
Cut inter-AZ traffic costs and enabled Spot scaling through zone-aware routing.
Set up real-time per-service cost tracking as a platform capability.

FinOps

Over $1M a year saved by teams acting on their own cost data.

A near real-time pipeline that showed every service owner what their service costs, driving over $1M in yearly cloud savings.

Caching · FinOps

Zero downtime; over $1M a year saved.

A reusable Spring Boot annotation moved cached objects from Java serialization to Protobuf 3 with zero downtime and over $1M in yearly savings.
