€5K AWS Cost Audit
1 week · 3× ROI or free
You already know your AWS bill is too high. This audit shows you exactly how much "doing nothing" costs - resource by resource, dollar by dollar. Most founders who say "I'll optimize later" lose €50K–200K/year while they wait. This audit ends the guessing in 7 days. If I can't find at least €15K in annual savings (3× the fee), you pay nothing. That's in writing.
- Deep infrastructure analysis across all services & regions
- Actionable task breakdown - prioritized by impact vs. risk
- 30-min walkthrough call
- Savings Plan & RI recommendations
€3K/mo Managed FinOps
Ongoing
The audit finds the waste. The retainer makes sure it never comes back. A full-time FinOps hire costs €80–120K/year and takes 3–6 months to ramp. This retainer delivers Month 1 results for €3K - less than what most startups waste on a single over-provisioned RDS instance.

- Savings Plan & RI management

Common audit findings
How It Works
Accept Agreements & Onboard
Fill in your name, company, and email, then accept the Service Agreement and NDA. No payment now - invoice comes only after you've seen the findings.
Discovery Call
Not sure yet? Let's find out in 30 minutes. We'll map what "doing nothing" on AWS actually costs you - not in theory, but in real euros. If it's a fit, I send the onboarding link. If it's not, you still walk away knowing exactly where your money goes. Either way, the guessing stops.
Secure Access Setup
Run one command in your AWS account terminal to create a read-only IAM role. Zero risk - I can read and analyze, never modify anything.
Deep AWS Analysis
I audit your entire AWS infrastructure across all regions, services, and accounts. Every resource analyzed.
Audit Report Delivery
Professional report with prioritized savings opportunities, quick wins, and implementation roadmap. Invoice sent after you've seen the findings.
Managed FinOps Retainer
Continue with monthly cost optimization. I monitor, identify new savings, and implement improvements via IaC PRs every month.

Hi, I'm Adam.
I've spent 8+ years building and optimizing cloud infrastructure for companies like Disney+ Hotstar, Fortune 500 enterprises, and fast-growing startups - systems serving tens of millions of users daily.
I've led migrations from single-account chaos to proper multi-account architectures, implemented Graviton migrations that slashed costs, and built platform teams from scratch.
Now I help startups get enterprise-grade AWS infrastructure without the enterprise price tag.
