Meet the Founder

The Story Behind Talk Nerdy to Me

I founded Talk Nerdy to Me because I kept running into the same problem over and over: brilliant engineers, architects and financial analysts would get lost in the fog of cloud terminology and pricing models. As a Cloud & Tooling Platform Owner with a FinOps certification, I saw firsthand how multi‑cloud adoption and variable billing models were stressing teams. People were hungry for practical guidance but were stuck wading through vendor jargon and piecemeal tutorials.

My goal was simple: demystify cloud computing, FinOps and AI with clear language, tangible examples and a bit of fun. Instead of dry whitepapers, I wanted to offer analogies (like LEGO bricks for landing zones), share scripts that actually save money and time, and build a community where we could all learn together. I started the site as a small blog of automation tips and cost‑savings tricks. As readership grew, it evolved into a fully fledged playbook library, a FinOps hub and a resource repository.
