Siddharth Terse

With over 7 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.

At Dream11, I lead initiatives that optimize multi-million-dollar cloud spend through data-driven modeling, stakeholder collaboration, and engineering-led automation.My work spans building custom Savings Plan recommendation engines, architecting Kubernetes cost attribution models, and designing forecasting frameworks that align squad-level budgets with actual AWS usage. I’ve successfully reduced unaccounted cloud spend by 66%, improved Savings Plan coverage from 75% to 85%, and helped deliver $2M+ in annual savings.

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.
