## Experience

- Founder @ Strawly (2026-01 – today): Designing and building a full-stack FinOps platform from scratch, covering product, architecture, and every layer of the stack. Strawly surfaces cloud spend insights and optimization opportunities for AWS and Azure, self-hosted and source first. Born from hands-on experience managing cloud costs at scale, and a belief that FinOps tooling shouldn't require an enterprise contract.
