What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth in cloud technologies.

I am a FinOps-focused Cloud and DevOps Engineer with over 5.5 years of experience in managing hybrid cloud infrastructure and driving cost optimization across AWS environments. My journey began with a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics Engineering, followed by an Executive MBA in Finance & Analytics. I am a FinOps Certified Practitioner and a scholarship awardee from the FinOps Foundation, which has equipped me with the skills to enable cost transparency, forecasting, budgeting, and accountability through automation and governance.

In my current role at Yodaplus Technologies, I successfully reduced AWS costs by approximately 30% by right-sizing resources and removing unused Elastic IPs, EBS volumes, and aged snapshots. I have built Excel-based cost dashboards for over 130 AWS accounts, implemented tagging policies for improved accountability, and utilized various AWS tools for observability and cost anomaly analysis. My collaborative efforts with engineering and finance teams have driven cost awareness and governance, and I am actively enhancing my skills in Microsoft Azure services to broaden my cloud expertise.
