Work with Tim Urista · AI Cost & Infrastructure

Independent consulting on AI infrastructure and unit economics: what your AI actually costs, who owns it, and how to ship more with less using AI-assisted delivery that's reviewed and verified. I've worked on cloud and AI infrastructure in big tech at Apple, Meta and Roku, and I build and run TendForm and TrendVesting. A few questions, about 2 minutes. If we're a fit, my direct line appears at the end.
