Summary
Shane Riddell is a Technical Fellow with over 20 years of experience designing and shipping robust software and infrastructure, currently driving cloud-native architecture and DevOps practices at Ellucian. He specializes in Kubernetes, containerization, gitops and Rancher-managed clusters, having built a gitops-driven Rancher implementation that regularly upgrades clusters without downtime. Passionate about automation, serverless, AWS, and near real-time container security/CVE reporting, he combines hands-on access with a deep low-level understanding of systems. A collaborative mentor who frequently supports cross-team channels and willingly takes responsibility beyond his formal remit, he advocates iterative improvement and pragmatic reboots of failing approaches. Trained in applied mathematics and physics, Shane brings analytical rigor to operational reliability and security-focused platform engineering.
