Experienced Cloud Operations Manager with FinOps Focus | AWS & Azure | DevOps & Cost Optimization Expert
I’m a seasoned Cloud Operations Manager with over 8 years of hands-on experience managing, optimizing, and automating cloud infrastructure in enterprise environments. My expertise spans across AWS and Azure, with a strong FinOps mindset that helps organizations turn cloud complexity into cost efficiency and business value.
Throughout my career, I have built and operated cloud environments across EKS, EC2, RDS, S3, and managed services, supporting multi-region deployments (e.g., Dublin, Frankfurt). My FinOps background enables me to go beyond operations: I focus on cloud spend transparency, cost forecasting, and governance frameworks that align technical solutions with financial goals.
Key Expertise:
  • AWS Cloud: EC2, EKS, RDS, S3, Lambda, CloudFormation, Cost Explorer, CUR (Cost and Usage Reports)
  • Azure: Resource Manager, Cost Management, hybrid environments
  • FinOps: Budgeting, chargeback models, cost dashboards (Athena + QuickSight / Grafana), tag governance, anomaly detection
  • Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Helm, Ansible
  • Monitoring & Observability: CloudWatch, Prometheus/Grafana, ELK/EFK stack
  • DevOps Pipelines: GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Kubernetes automation
  • Optimization Strategies: Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, spot fleet orchestration, unused asset cleanup
I also operate with a strong business and communication background, having collaborated with cross-functional teams (engineering, finance, procurement). I am comfortable acting as a FinOps bridge between engineering and leadership — ensuring cloud investments are efficient, justified, and scalable.
? Featured Guest in Kraftie Podcast by HWSW
I had the opportunity to share real-world FinOps strategies as a guest in one of Hungary’s leading tech podcasts, discussing how to apply FinOps in a production-scale AWS infrastructure.
? I am available for freelance or contracting opportunities, either short-term or long-term. I operate via a registered company and can invoice in EUR, working remotely from within the EU (based in Hungary, fluent in English).
