NOAA Recognizes GAMA-1’s Dr. Michael Wilson for Delivering $50K in Monthly Cloud Savings

Driving Results with Vigilance and Innovation

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, September 9, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- GAMA-1 Technologies² is proud to announce that Dr. Michael Wilson has received a formal Letter of Appreciation from Heather Kilcoyne, Director of NOAA³ NESDIS Office of Common Services¹ (OCS), recognizing his outstanding contributions to cost optimization in cloud operations.

In her memorandum, Ms. Kilcoyne commended Dr. Wilson for his astute identification of an anomaly in cloud service costs, which enabled NOAA’s technical team to implement a corrective fix. This effort has resulted in monthly cost savings exceeding $50,000, a remarkable achievement that directly supports NOAA’s mission of responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars.

“Thanks to Mike's initiative and commitment to fiscal responsibility, our team was able to realize a significant cost-avoidance measure,” wrote Ms. Kilcoyne. “This recognition underscores our commitment to fostering a culture of vigilance and accountability in managing public funds.”

Dr. Wilson’s astute analysis initiated the discovery of duplicate CloudTrail logs. By reviewing Billing and Cost Management reports, he identified unexpected costs and traced them to CloudTrail. After confirming with the Algorithm Orchestration team, he escalated the issue to the NESDIS Common Cloud Framework Infrastructure Team, who worked with other groups to resolve the anomaly. By proactively identifying the anomaly and ensuring swift resolution, he demonstrated the impact of vigilance, technical expertise, and teamwork in advancing NOAA’s goals.

His leadership not only avoided unnecessary expenses but also reinforced NESDIS’ efforts to optimize cloud operations, minimize costs, and advance mission success.

At GAMA-1, we emphasize our core value of being Results-Focused. Dr. Wilson’s contribution exemplifies this principle by turning innovation and vigilance into measurable outcomes that matter both for our clients and for the American public.

GAMA-1 President, Gustavo Gamarra, expressed his appreciation:
“Mike’s work represents the best of GAMA-1’s mission-focused innovation, fiscal responsibility, and measurable results. We are proud to see his contributions recognized by NOAA leadership, and even prouder of the lasting impact his efforts will continue to make.”
