Diana Molski · Cloud & Capital

I build tools that catch cost problems before they compound.

Practitioner built. Finance first. Open source.

I build FinOps tools and decision systems for cloud, SaaS, and AI infrastructure spend. The work starts before the invoice, where architecture, commitments, and operating choices shape the bill.

Lumen analysis
What’s bleeding money right now?
EC2 jumped 154% in one day, from $482 to $1,226. It is now the largest cost driver at 40.5% of cloud spend.

I also found 19 unused SaaS licenses costing $242 per month. AI spend rose 12.4%, which is worth checking against token volume and model mix before it becomes the next material driver.

Start with EC2, then validate the AI increase. Was this a planned launch or uncontrolled autoscaling?

Where finance and engineering meet.

Diana Molski signature

My background is in finance, including Morgan Stanley and equity trading. Through Cloud & Capital, I build open source FinOps tools and research the decisions shaping cloud, SaaS, and AI infrastructure spend.

The work sits where finance and engineering meet: allocation, commitments, utilization, and the operating choices that shape the bill.
