AI Cost & Architecture Advisory

Make AI pay off before the bill gets out of hand.

I help teams building with AI figure out which use cases deserve more money, which need better architecture, and which are just burning it. Each one gets a dollar figure, and your team gets a clear order of what to fix first.

The Problem

The fastest-growing line on your bill is the one nobody owns.

AI spend is the fastest-growing line on your cloud bill, and it's the one nobody owns. Engineers pick models by habit. Nobody checks whether a workload should be batched, cached, or committed. The pricing fine print changes every quarter. So the bill grows, and the link between what you spend and what you ship gets weaker.

Every token you pay for should turn into output, and output should turn into revenue or a clean customer outcome.

When it doesn't, that's waste, and it's almost always fixable. The teams that get this right don't simply spend less. They know which AI bets deserve more money, which need better architecture, and which to stop. That's the work.

How We'd Work

One fixed piece of work first. It grows only if your numbers say it should.

  1. 1

    Free intro call

    30 minutes. You tell me what you're building and roughly what you spend. I tell you where I'd look first, whether or not we go further.

  2. 3

    Quarterly review

    Model prices, commitment options, and the cheapest way to run a workload reset every few months. Most teams keep me on so their spend map stays current instead of aging out.

  3. 4

    Advisory and enablement

    Some teams bring me into their sprints as an advisor. Some have me train the team on what the audit found, so the waste doesn't come back. Both come later, and only if the audit says you need them.

The audit comes first. Everything after it is a decision you make once you've seen your own numbers.

Who I Am

I do this work every day.

Saurav Sharma. Six years at Amazon. 12 AWS certifications. I was doing this work on cloud bills before AI bills existed: finding cost and architecture problems in enterprise AWS accounts as a Senior TAM. Now I do it for AI spend every day: model selection, commitment math, caching and batching, the pricing fine print across OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, and AWS. I teach 30,000+ students on Udemy and run the CloudYeti YouTube channel.

Who This Is For

The people responsible for the AI and cloud bill.

Founders, CTOs, platform leads, engineering leads, FinOps leads. Teams spending real money on AI who want it to convert into output, not just invoices.
