## About

I help small and growing businesses make sense of AI, cloud, and Microsoft Copilot spending without the enterprise price tag or the jargon. My background is enterprise-grade: I've architected AI and cloud solutions for large organizations across AWS, Azure, and Microsoft 365, working alongside security and infrastructure teams where mistakes are expensive and the stakes are high.

I bring that same rigor to smaller organizations, and provide guidance and sustainable and affordable solutions. No 40-page strategy decks, or upsells. I provide practical and actionable steps on what's actually working, what's wasted spend, and what to do next. Whether you're sanity-checking your AI tool stack, trying to figure out why your cloud bill keeps climbing, or deciding if Microsoft Copilot is worth licensing, I'll give you the same exact guidance I'd give a large enterprise. Let's chat!

## Sessions I offer

- [AI, Cloud or Copilot Reality Check](https://www.everyexpert.com/brandonbaxley/book/ai-cloud-or-copilot-reality-check) — 30 min, Free
  Not sure if your biggest opportunity is AI, cloud costs, or Microsoft Copilot? In 30 minutes, we'll run through a quick readiness check across all three and pinpoint which one deserves your attention first and why. No audit, no sales pitch, just clarity on where to focus next. Perfect if you're paying for (or considering) any combination of AI tools, cloud infrastructure, or Copilot licenses and want an outside, no-nonsense read before you spend more.
- [AI Spend & Sanity Check](https://www.everyexpert.com/brandonbaxley/book/ai-spend-sanity-check) — 1 hour, $150.00
  Bring your list of AI tools and subscriptions. In 75 minutes we'll sort them into Working, Wasted, or Overlapping, and you'll leave with one clear cut-or-keep decision you can act on today. Built for business owners who suspect they're overpaying, over-tooled, or just unsure what's actually earning its keep. You keep the worksheet and can build on it yourself after we're done.
