Cloud and on-prem FinOps

As a Cloud FinOps specialist, I bring extensive experience in optimizing and managing cloud financial operations across leading platforms, including AWS, Azure and  Google Cloud Platform (GCP). My expertise bridges the gap between finance, technology, and operations, ensuring that cloud investments are both cost-effective and aligned with organizational goals.

I have a proven track record of developing and implementing robust cloud cost management strategies. This includes designing and maintaining tagging policies, establishing budgets and alerts, and leveraging native and third-party tools for cost monitoring and forecasting. My hands-on experience with AWS Cost Explorer, Azure Cost Management, GCP Billing, and several third-party tools enables me to provide actionable insights that drive savings and efficiency.

In addition to public cloud expertise, I am skilled in virtualization technologies and private cloud solutions. I have managed on-premise virtualized environments using platforms such as VMware, Hyper-V, and OpenStack, integrating them with cloud resources to create hybrid architectures. This dual competency allows me to optimize workloads based on performance, cost, and compliance requirements, ensuring seamless transitions between on-premise and cloud infrastructures.

I excel at cross-functional collaboration, working closely with engineering, finance, and procurement teams to establish cloud governance frameworks, implement chargeback/showback models, and promote a culture of cost accountability. My analytical skills are complemented by a strong understanding of cloud pricing models, reserved instances, savings plans, and rightsizing recommendations, which I use to consistently identify and eliminate waste.

In summary, my comprehensive experience with multi-cloud environments, virtualization, and financial operations positions me as a valuable asset for organizations seeking to maximize cloud value, control costs, and drive digital transformation.
