AWS Cost Visibility Case Study

Summary

I implemented tagging standards, budget alerts, and reporting dashboards to expose real-time AWS spend. The effort targeted runaway storage and compute costs across dozens of accounts.

Role & Impact

I drove the cost review process, rightsized instances, and introduced automated lifecycle policies. Monthly cloud spend dropped by roughly one third without reducing service reliability.
