SCOTT DAIGGER
I help businesses spend less on AWS and build better with technology.
AWS FinOps consultant. Fractional CTO. 2x founder. Based in Calgary and working with teams across the U.S. and Canada.
ABOUT
I’m Scott — an entrepreneurial business and technology leader who has spent his career building things that last: cloud platforms, development teams, recurring revenue businesses. Usually all at once.
I know what it’s like to start with an idea and no roadmap, then architect the structure, processes, and technology to make it real. I’ve founded and scaled two companies, led innovation portfolios at a major healthcare system, and earned credentials across cloud architecture, project management, and security.
Based in Calgary, working with clients across North America. Authorized to work in both the U.S. and Canada.
WHAT I DO
AWS FinOps
I built Alpenglow Cloud Consulting to give SMBs the same cost visibility that large enterprises pay consultants six figures to get. Read-only access, automated analysis, plain-English findings — delivered as a recurring report your CEO or CFO can actually act on. Most clients find 15–30% in savings they didn’t know were there. → Learn more at alpenglowcloud.com
Fractional CTO & Cloud Consulting
Need senior technical leadership without a full-time hire? I work with early-stage and growth-phase companies that need someone who can sit in both the strategy meeting and the architecture review — and make both go better. Engagements are scoped to what you actually need. → Let’s talk
Web & Digital (Buddy)
Since 2019 I’ve run Buddy Web Design & Development — 100+ client projects, a 10-person remote team, and a 5/5 star rating on Google. If you need a website done right, I know how to make that happen. → buddywdd.com
