Summary
Brent Denny is a Senior Systems Trainer with over 30 years of hands-on IT and training experience across Australia and New Zealand, specializing in Azure, Microsoft Server, Red Hat Linux, Citrix, Check Point, and network/security infrastructure. He combines deep field support experience—from Unix and Novell to modern cloud and virtualization—with a decade-plus focus on delivering practical, scenario-driven technical training that prioritises understanding over memorisation. Brent holds a wide range of vendor certifications (Microsoft, Red Hat, Citrix, Check Point, NetScaler) and brings real-world troubleshooting insight into classrooms, enabling learners to apply skills directly to workplace systems. His curriculum emphasis on scripting and automation (PowerShell/Bash) and load-balancing/security architectures helps bridge operational gaps many organisations face during cloud migrations. Known for an adaptable teaching style across diverse teams and industries, he still teaches advanced topics like RHEL-9/10, Azure, PowerShell and Citrix NetScaler at Lumify Work. A less obvious strength is his early roots in hardware and systems assembly, which gives him a practical systems-level perspective often missing in senior trainers.
