Enterprise architect. I build GenAI that survives production in regulated environments.
Actions
Alireza Chegini is an enterprise architect with 25 years in regulated, financial-grade environments, where mistakes are expensive and discretion is not optional. He currently leads GenAI architecture at a large European bank, where he designed its first GenAI platform and the reusable services on top of it, built the ownership and governance model around them, and is now leading the move toward agentic systems.
His work sits where production engineering meets regulation: RAG and agentic systems, AI platforms, human oversight designed into the architecture rather than added afterwards, and the EU AI Act obligations landing between now and 2027. He is a Microsoft Certified Trainer, authors courses on KodeKloud, writes the Architecting AI newsletter, and guest-lectures on the Amsterdam MBA. He founded Coding As Creating, an AI-native studio in The Hague.
Optimizing Azure Cloud Costs: Proactive Strategies for Efficient Cloud Management
In the era of rapid digital transformation, the challenge for many organisations extends beyond cloud migration to the realms of efficiency and cost optimisation in cloud infrastructure. This workshop, led by an experienced Azure Architect, focuses on proactive strategies for managing and reducing Azure cloud costs without impacting performance or project delivery timelines.
Key Objectives:
* Understanding Cloud Cost Dynamics: Unveil the common pitfalls in cloud cost management post-migration, emphasising the importance of a proactive approach in early project stages.
* Cost Analysis and Reduction Techniques: Demonstrate practical methods to analyse current Azure expenditures, identifying and mitigating areas of unnecessary spending.
* Efficient Design and Implementation: Share best practices for designing and implementing new features and infrastructure cost-effectively from the outset.
* Balancing Cost, Performance, and Timeliness: Discuss strategies to manage the triad of cloud computing – cost, performance, and project delivery – ensuring an optimal balance.
Workshop Structure:
* Introduction to Cloud Cost Management Challenges
Overview of common challenges in post-migration cloud cost management.
Case studies highlighting the impact of reactive cost management approaches.
* Proactive Cost Optimization Techniques
Tools and methodologies for early-stage cost estimation and control.
Demo session on analysing and reducing current Azure costs.
* Designing for Cost Efficiency
Principles of cost-efficient cloud architecture and feature development.
* Q&A and Discussion
