AWS bills get out of hand fast. CostOps is what I call the discipline that brings them back — finding the waste, fixing the architecture that produced it, and putting guardrails in so it doesn't come back next quarter.
A focus on the engineering side of FinOps — the changes that make the bill structurally smaller, not the dashboards that just visualize it.
End-to-end review of an account: idle resources, oversized instances, untagged spend, retention overrun, undeleted backups.
Rearchitect the parts that drive 80% of the bill — usually data transfer, storage tiering, log ingestion, and the wrong compute primitive.
Cost allocation, anomaly detection, RI/Savings Plan strategy, automated rightsizing — built on what's already in your stack, not another vendor.
Terraform, IaC patterns, and CI guardrails so cost-aware defaults are the path of least resistance for every team.
Short, scoped, outcome-oriented. No retainers that drag on for months.
Read-only access to your AWS org. Output: a ranked list of fixes with estimated $/month impact and engineering effort.
I implement the highest-ROI changes alongside your team. PRs you can review, not slides you have to act on.
Documentation, dashboards, and the playbook so your team can run cost reviews without me on the next quarter.
