Rocks Studio — Cost Optimization · AI · DevOps
Cut cloud costs.
Ship real AI.
Keep it running.
A boutique studio that treats AWS cost optimization and applied AI as the specialty — not an afterthought bolted on later. Dashboards, MCP tools, and the automations that tie them together, engineered, cost-optimized, monitored, and shipped by one person.

One studio,
the whole stack.
Cost Optimization
Cloud bills that don't creep. Architecture audited and rebuilt to run lean — an average 45% reduction across the AWS accounts under management, the kind of work that turns a $32/month NAT Gateway into $0.
- ▪AWS cost audits & rearchitecture
- ▪Serverless-first infrastructure
- ▪FinOps & spend monitoring
AI & Automation
Agents and pipelines that take over the repetitive parts of the job — wired straight into the tools your team already uses, and tuned to keep inference costs down while they do it.
- ▪LLM-powered agents & tools
- ▪MCP servers & integrations
- ▪Inference cost tuning & model routing
Cloud & DevOps
Infrastructure that ships itself and doesn't page you at 2am — provisioned as code, monitored, and built to scale.
- ▪AWS architecture & IaC (Terraform/CDK)
- ▪CI/CD pipelines
- ▪Monitoring & observability
02 // Process
Four steps.
No surprises.
Scope
A short call to pin down the outcome, constraints, and a fixed-scope quote — no discovery-phase billing.
Build
Design and engineering in one tight loop, with working previews shared as they happen — not at the end.
Ship
Deployed to production on real infrastructure, with monitoring and CI in place from the first commit.
Iterate
Post-launch fixes and the next round of automation, scoped from what the data actually shows.
