Role Positioning: AI FinOps Lead | Platform Architect
Strategic Focus: Cost of Revenue (COR) Ownership & Automated Accountability
This project demonstrates a unified cloud financial ecosystem that normalizes billing data from AWS, Azure, and Snowflake into a single source of truth. Using the FOCUS 1.3 Standard, it provides the "standardized and consistent reporting" required for enterprise-scale environments.
The engine features a proactive Financial Governance layer that triggers self-healing protocols (auto-shutdown) via Logic Apps to eliminate runaway spend in non-production environments.
Figure 1: Executive view of consolidated spend across three providers with real-time governance alerts.
This framework enforces accountability by automating the response to budget variances:
- Threshold Detection: Azure Monitor identifies spend exceeding $0.80 (80% of budget).
- Webhook Trigger: An HTTP Webhook signal is sent to the orchestration layer.
- Self-Healing: A Logic App workflow deallocates Development VMs to halt spend immediately.
- Validation: The final cost is capped at $0.85, successfully preventing a major budget breach.
- Data Standard: FOCUS 1.3 (FinOps Open Cost & Usage Specification) for cross-cloud normalization.
- Ingestion: Automated transformation of fragmented CSV/JSON billing exports.
- Visualization: Power BI Executive Dashboard designed for VP Engineering/CFO reviews.
- Automation: JSON-based Logic App workflow definitions for cloud resource management.
- COR Isolation: Clearly separated Production spend ($317.15) from Experimental spend ($19.35) to protect gross margins.
- Spend Transparency: Identified a 75.78% spend concentration in Snowflake, enabling targeted vendor negotiations.
- Risk Mitigation: Implemented automated "guardrails" that eliminate 100% of runaway lab spend.

Note on Proprietary Logic: To protect intellectual property, the functional Python source code for the normalization engine is restricted. A high-level logic overview is provided within the scripts directory. Functional walkthroughs are available upon request during the interview process.
