DevOps, platform, and Kubernetes consulting
Ulisseas is the consulting practice of Neill Shazly, a senior DevOps and platform engineer in Victoria, BC. Fourteen years across aerospace, finance, healthcare, music, and networking clients on AWS, GCP, and Azure.
Services
Design, build, and migrate to Kubernetes on EKS, GKE, or self-hosted RKE. Ingress, network policy, storage, logging, and monitoring set up so teams can ship from day one.
GitLab CI and GitHub Actions pipelines that are reliable, templated, and owned by the teams that use them. Migrations off TeamCity, CircleCI, and hand-built scripts.
HashiCorp Vault, PingIdentity, and OIDC/JWT auth so applications and developers stop passing around rotating keys. Least-privilege access with audit logging that satisfies financial-data standards.
Planning, estimates, dry-runs, and hands-on execution for enterprise GitHub migrations and cloud moves. Runbooks and reports that keep stakeholders informed.
Embedded, side-by-side training for delivery teams on Go, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS. Documentation and testing practices that outlast the engagement.
Practical adoption of agent workflows (Claude Code, local models) for code generation, review, and refactoring, plus TemporalIO and Azure reference solutions for durable workflows.

How I work
Most engagements start with a short assessment, then move into hands-on delivery alongside your team. The goal is a platform or pipeline your engineers understand and own, with runbooks and training in place before I leave.
Available for contract and fractional work, remote across North America, and open to full-time platform, ML infrastructure, or research engineering roles.
