In today’s cloud-driven world, cost control isn’t just a finance issue—it’s an engineering challenge. FinOps bridges the gap between technology and finance, enabling smarter, data-driven cloud spending decisions.
As a Certified FinOps Practitioner with deep experience in AWS and Azure environments, I help organizations build financially accountable cloud frameworks that optimize spend, improve forecasting, and align cost with business value.
💼 Real-World Implementation : Multi-Million Dollar Cloud Cost Savings at T-Mobile
