Push the autonomy frontier with guardrails.
Decide what's safe for agents to fix on their own.
Design the policies that make customers trust autonomous action in production.
Shift cost left.
Build the engine that catches expensive infrastructure decisions in the PR, not the invoice.
Feed the agents.

4+ years hands-on in cloud cost optimization.
You've personally cut six or seven figures of cloud spend.
Live in the console and the IaC repo, not in slides.
You know which workloads should never run on-demand.

Communicate like an engineer to engineers.
You can run a working session with a Head of Platform, find savings in their console live, and write the runbook by EOD.

Use AI tools daily. Claude, Cursor, agents.
