Six people, every one of them Azure-only.
Most of this team came from in-house cloud operations roles before joining Baseload Systems.
A decade running cloud infrastructure teams before founding Baseload Systems in 2018. Still reviews every new client's initial utilization baseline personally.
Runs the day-to-day rightsizing and resize scheduling process, and owns the maintenance-window calendar across every client fleet.
Designs the Reserved Instance, Savings Plan, and Hybrid Benefit strategy for each client's right-sized baseline. Previously led cloud financial operations for a national retailer.
Leads Azure Migrate-based assessments and cutover planning for clients moving from on-premises or another cloud into Azure VMs.
Owns backup, availability, and disaster recovery design, and is the person most likely to ask whether a workload actually needs the resilience it's currently paying for.
Builds the auto-shutdown schedules, patch automation, and drift alerting that keep a right-sized fleet from quietly growing oversized again.
