About Freddy

DevOps Engineer with 10 years of experience on Azure, I combine infrastructure expertise and FinOps vision to help teams master their cloud costs without sacrificing performance or reliability.

My added value: I work across the entire Azure catalog. This means choosing the right service for the right use (App Service vs. Container Apps vs. AKS, Azure SQL vs. Cosmos DB vs. PostgreSQL Flexible, hot/cold/archive storage, network traffic and egress, licenses, and hybrid benefit) and anchoring these choices directly in the architecture to make them sustainable and reproducible.

My interventions cover:
  • Auditing existing architectures from a cost/value perspective
  • Choosing and migrating to services better suited to actual usage
  • Implementing tagging and cost allocation strategies by team or project
  • Building dashboards and budget alerts in Azure Cost Management
  • Integrating FinOps practices into GitLab CI/CD pipelines and Terraform modules

I deliver concrete recommendations, prioritized by financial impact, with the accompanying IaC code.

Types of missions sought


Azure FinOps Audit: comprehensive review of expenses by service, identification of savings opportunities, report prioritized by impact.

Cost-Effective Architecture: advice on choosing Azure services suited to actual usage (compute, data, storage, network), with IaC implementation.

FinOps Governance: tagging policy, cost allocation by team/project/environment, Azure alerts and budgets.

Continuous Optimization: integrating FinOps practices into existing CI/CD pipelines, regular cost reviews.
