About Evgeny Anikiev
I'm Evgeny Anikiev, an independent AWS DevOps and cloud consultant. I help SaaS startups cut AWS costs, ship faster and scale securely — working directly with your team, with no account managers and no hand-offs.
I have 15+ years of experience in infrastructure and DevOps, working with companies of every size — from large enterprises like LG, to scale-ups like Wefox, to small, early-stage startups. That range is the point: I've seen what breaks at each stage, and what's worth fixing before it does.
DevOpsCloudConsult is my consultancy, based in Barcelona, Spain. I work remotely with clients worldwide, mostly on AWS cost optimization, Kubernetes and Amazon EKS, CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, and AWS architecture reviews.
Certifications
Selected AWS certifications:

How I work
- Directly with you. You talk to the person doing the work. For larger engagements I bring in trusted collaborators from past projects.
- Remote, worldwide. Based in Barcelona (CET); async collaboration plus scheduled video calls.
- Read-only access first. Cost audits start from read-only IAM access to Cost Explorer, Trusted Advisor and CloudWatch — no production access needed.
- Fast start. Typically within 1–2 weeks, after a free 30-minute review of your setup.
