About
I'm Garrett Faulkes. I got into cloud because I love finding order in chaos, and cloud bills are some of the most chaotic things in tech. Along the way that has meant $3.6M+ in annualized savings delivered and $112.7M of lifetime cloud spend governed: 105 subscriptions across 33 business units, with every platform on this page built hands-on.
