## About

```text
At Crayon Software Experts, I optimize AWS and Azure environments through rightsizing, resource cleanup, and pricing model optimization, delivering 20–30% annual savings per project.

I identify underutilized resources and use cost analysis with AWS Cost Explorer, CloudHealth, and Apptio to uncover cost drivers. This work reduced orphaned resources by 40% and supported data-driven optimization decisions.

I designed scalable cloud architectures that improved system uptime by 30% while balancing cost and performance. I also implemented tagging and governance strategies that improved cost allocation accuracy and spend visibility, with forecast accuracy improving by 40%–50%.

Earlier, at Petabytz Technologies, I assisted with cloud solution design and infrastructure evaluations. At Total IT Global, I led cost modeling and pricing strategies for enterprise solutions and RFPs, and designed infrastructure solutions aligned with client budgets.
