About

Founded Espresso AI with a team of ex-Google, ex-Apple, MIT engineers to help save companies up to 70% on Snowflake automatically. We can estimate your savings upfront and have you up and running in 10 minutes flat. In the words of our first customer: "Espresso Al literally cut our Snowflake bill in half. Setup was easy and straightforward, and there's zero maintenance. This is a no-brainer if you're stressed about your Snowflake costs." -- Prior to Espresso AI, I helped Google save hundreds of millions of dollars on compute costs.
