Marla Carrillo

I am a results-driven Senior FinOps specialist and software developer with over 14 years of combined experience, including 6 years in Cloud Financial Management and 9 years in Software Engineering. I specialize in multi-cloud cost optimization across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Alibaba Cloud, and in building technical solutions that bridge Finance and Engineering.

At Gameloft I consolidated financial data from multiple cloud providers into a single reporting platform and designed a custom showback/chargeback automation system, delivering actionable insights for executive decision-making. I developed budget alarm systems using AWS Lambda and Python to monitor and alert on budget exceedances.

In my current FinOps analyst role I design implementation roadmaps, create accurate budget forecasts, perform provider state analysis (Azure), and recommend FinOps model implementations while promoting best practices across teams. I collaborate closely with development, product, and finance stakeholders to align technical needs with financial objectives.

I hold FinOps and cloud certifications (FinOps Certified Practitioner, AWS Certified Practitioner, Azure AZ-900) and a Computer Engineering degree. I continuously upskill through targeted courses in cloud cost management, analytics, and optimization to drive measurable cost reductions and operational efficiency.
