What I'm looking for
I am an Optimization Solutions Architect with deep AWS expertise and a track record of delivering over $100MM in cost savings for global enterprises by driving cloud efficiency and FinOps strategies.
At AWS, I optimized 40+ strategic accounts, led workshops across 18 countries, and used Python, SQL, and QuickSight to analyze telemetry and implement savings opportunities that produced consistent cost reductions.
Previously I drove adoption of Amazon Selling Partner APIs, built serverless data lakes and event-driven solutions, produced technical content with 101.7K views, and mentored teams of solution architects and support engineers.
I hold multiple AWS certifications and a master's in Software Engineering, and I look for roles where I can blend technical architecture, financial modeling, and hands-on automation to deliver measurable business impact.
