Siddharth Terse

With over 12 years of experience, I specialize in FinOps, cost management, and cloud operations as an Engineering Manager at Dream11. My work focuses on enabling cost transparency, intelligent optimization, and strategic alignment of cloud investments with business outcomes. I actively collaborate with engineering, finance, and leadership teams to optimize cloud spending for performance and scalability.

Leveraging hands-on expertise in AWS and GCP, I design cost-efficient architectures and implement FinOps solutions that align workload behavior with operational efficiency. Committed to ensuring every cloud dollar serves a clear business purpose, I support engineering teams in making cost-aware decisions at scale while driving operational excellence.
