What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth and collaboration in cloud financial management.

I am a Cloud FinOps Analyst with over 5 years of experience in managing and optimizing cloud costs across major platforms such as AWS, Azure, and GCP. My expertise lies in analyzing billing data, building cost models, and collaborating with finance and engineering teams to achieve significant cost savings. I have successfully implemented strategies that resulted in a 20-30% reduction in cloud spending through right-sizing, Reserved Instances, and Savings Plans.

In my previous roles, I have demonstrated my ability to identify operational cost control mechanisms and optimize resource consumption. I have a proven track record of reducing costs by $3 million within six months by terminating unused resources and automating processes using AWS Lambda. My technical skills include proficiency in cloud cost management tools, scripting in Python, Bash, and PowerShell, and creating insightful dashboards using Power BI.
