Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlistair Scott is a seasoned software engineer and founder with 16 years building cloud-native infrastructure and cost-optimisation tools. As co-founder of Infracost (backed by Y Combinator and Sequoia) he focuses on making cloud billing transparent and actionable for engineering teams. Previously he co-founded AbarCloud, scaling a container-as-a-service platform into a private cloud for Snapp that handled over 100k requests/sec and supported 2M rides/day, giving him deep hands-on experience across datacenter, networking, VMs and containers. At RightScale he designed scalable analytics for cloud cost monitoring, tying together datastore evaluation and enterprise usage ingestion. Based in Edinburgh and a First Class Computer Science graduate from St Andrews, he blends product-driven engineering with operator instincts—often solving billing and observability problems at the infrastructure level rather than just in application code.
