Visible unit economics
Connect infrastructure spend to environments, features, customers, or transactions where the data allows.
All servicesCloud cost optimisation
Cut cloud waste without slowing the product down
I trace what you pay for, why it exists, and what the product actually needs—then implement practical savings with performance and reliability guardrails.
The offer
Get a prioritised savings plan with pounds, effort, risk, and ownership attached—not a generic dashboard export.
Baseline and quick wins first
What changes
Useful outcomes. Not AI theatre.
Lower avoidable spend
Remove idle resources, right-size workloads, tune storage and databases, and fix inefficient request paths.
Costs that stay controlled
Add budgets, alerts, ownership, tagging, and lightweight review habits so waste does not quietly return.
Good fit
Built for a real constraint
- SaaS products with cloud spend growing faster than revenue
- Teams surprised by serverless, database, or egress bills
- Businesses paying for idle or oversized environments
- Products preparing to scale or improve gross margin
What you get
A build you can inspect
- Cost baseline and service inventory
- Prioritised opportunities by saving, effort, and risk
- Quick-win configuration changes
- Architecture and application efficiency recommendations
- Budgets, anomaly alerts, and ownership model
- Verified before-and-after report
Delivery model
Small bet. Fast proof. Then scale.
- 1
Establish the baseline
I normalise recent spend, map accounts and environments, and identify the services driving change.
- 2
Find waste and root causes
We separate obvious idle capacity from architectural, database, code, traffic, and pricing issues.
- 3
Prioritise safely
Every change gets an estimated saving, effort, operational risk, rollback path, and owner.
- 4
Implement and verify
I make agreed changes, watch performance and reliability, then compare like-for-like spend.
FAQ
Straight answers
Which cloud platforms can you review?
I can review common web infrastructure across AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Vercel, managed databases, CDNs, and third-party platforms. The exact access and scope are agreed before any changes are made.
Can you guarantee a percentage saving?
Not responsibly before seeing the baseline. Some systems contain obvious waste; others are already efficient. I quantify opportunities first and distinguish estimated savings from savings verified after implementation.
Will cost cutting affect reliability?
Reliability and performance are explicit constraints. Higher-risk changes need a rollback plan and monitoring, and no production change is made without agreement on the trade-off.
Do you only produce a report?
No. I can implement the agreed quick wins and engineering changes, then verify the result. If your team prefers to implement them, I can provide tickets, acceptance criteria, and review support.
