Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I save on cloud costs with FinOps?

FinOps projects typically deliver 20-40% savings in the first months, starting from quick wins.

Do you work only on Azure or also on other clouds?

My core focus is Azure, with practical experience across hybrid and multi-cloud contexts when needed.

How to implement DevOps without blocking the team?

We start with a pilot, then scale. No delivery freeze, and visible results from the first weeks.

Do you support AI and artificial intelligence projects?

Yes. I focus on platform, deployment and MLOps to move AI solutions into production.

Do you work alone or have a team?

I work directly on engagements and involve specialized partners only when project scale requires it.

What does the free initial assessment include?

A 45-60 minute working call with priorities, quick wins and clear next steps.
