Network design, monitoring, automation, and the Slack-native ops tooling that ties it all together — for IT teams that need infrastructure to work, not just exist.
Every offer is based on systems I run myself — across 30+ live events a year, on AWS, with real users yelling in Slack when something breaks.
No hourly billing. No scope creep. You know exactly what you're getting and exactly when you're getting it.
Everything ships with full code, deployment docs, and a 30-day support window. No vendor lock-in, no black boxes.
Three productized offers. Each one fixed-scope, fixed-price, with clear deliverables and a defined timeline.
Your team lives in Slack. Your network gear doesn't. I'll bridge the gap with slash commands wrapping the operations your team actually does ten times a day.
Stop chasing low-context alerts. Turn noisy security and network notifications into identity-aware Slack messages with hostname, user, AP, and SSID.
Backtested decisions, automated alerts, your data on your hardware. Docker-based stack with PostgreSQL, scheduled scans, Discord/Slack notifications, and Grafana dashboards.
Beyond the packaged offers, here's the full bench — the infrastructure I work in every day, available for one-time builds, custom projects, or ongoing support.
Full network builds from the ground up — routing, VLANs, segmentation, and switching for offices, live events, and multi-site deployments. Designed to scale and documented so your team can run it.
Always-on visibility into your infrastructure. Alerting, dashboards, and automated health checks so you hear about problems before your users do — wherever the gear lives.
Site-to-site and remote-user VPNs, plus modern mesh networking with Tailscale and WireGuard — secure access to your systems without the legacy headaches.
Domain registration, DNS migration, email routing, and SSL — handled without breaking your existing services, including the tricky combinations most people get wrong.
Docker-based application stacks, AWS deployments, and self-hosted infrastructure — built to run reliably, recover gracefully, and scale when you need it to.
Enterprise WiFi design and deployment with Ruckus, MikroTik, and modern WiFi 6/7 gear — built for high device density, roaming, and the reliability that demanding environments need.
SS Unlimited, LLC is a Maryland-based IT services firm specializing in network automation for teams running multi-vendor infrastructure. Founded by Keith Shanklin, a network automation engineer who has spent the past several years building Python tooling for MikroTik routers, Ruckus SmartZone wireless controllers, Cradlepoint NCM devices, and Aruba EdgeConnect — running across 30+ live cybersecurity training events a year for SANS Institute.
The offers above are productized versions of systems already in production. If you need something built once, built well, and properly documented — get in touch.
