Cloud Engineer specializing in Azure cost optimization, automation, and FinOps—cutting spend while improving governance and efficiency.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Cloud Engineer specializing in Azure cost optimization, cloud automation, and FinOps. I focus on reducing cloud expenditure with rightsizing, Reserved Instances, Spot VMs, and storage-tier optimization, while maintaining reliable performance.
At Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), I reduced Azure infrastructure costs by 22–30% and implemented Azure Cost Management budgets, alerts, tagging standards, and automated policies. These governance workflows improved cost governance by 40%, and I continuously analyze usage patterns to drive measurable savings.
I use Azure Advisor and Azure Monitor (including Log Analytics and Metrics Explorer) to perform performance tuning, workload optimization, and utilization analysis. I also automate cleanup tasks, resource lifecycle management, and reporting using Python and Azure CLI.
I enjoy collaborating with DevOps teams to optimize CI/CD pipelines and improve deployment efficiency. I’m also a Certified Azure Fundamental (AZ-900) professional and I bring clear documentation and technical writing habits to help teams move faster with confidence.
