Key Projects

FinOps Platform

FinOps Cloud Management Platform

As a Product Manager at DoiT, managed 2 of the 6 scrum teams in the R&D organization to develop and implement the strategy for the core value-adding features of our product, during a company transition from Services-led to Product-led.

This Cloud Management Platform managed $200M+ monthly cloud spend and allowed more than 4,000 customers monitor, analyze, and set governance on their cloud environments. These core features provided ~$175M annualized savings for customers, between direct savings and savings recommendations.

  • 260% increase of Monthly Active Users (MAU)
  • 230% increase in usage of our product
  • 140% customer base expansion
AI Formulation

AI Chemical Formulation

In an attempt to solve problems in an old-fashioned industry using modern data and AI techniques, conceived a tool to predict a fluid's properties based on an input of concentrations of different additives used to mix the fluid

This prototype means a revolutionary approach to laboratory testing, as it allows technicians to jump to a solution very close to the final one, using only a computer and instant results, instead of the old trial and error (where a result can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days).

This results in an estimated savings of 65% of time and resources to generate the desired fluid properties for an oilfield project, which is a process that traditionally can take up to a few months.

  • Standardized and cleaned historical laboratory databases
  • Estimated savings of 65% of materials and man-hours required for a project
