Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDarryl Smith is a seasoned Data Center Engineer with over 20 years of experience designing, migrating, and operating mission-critical IT infrastructure across global enterprises. He has led large-scale consolidations and relocations—managing server migrations, vendor access, capacity planning, and DC facility operations—while applying ITIL best practices and strong audit/compliance discipline. Known for hands-on technical depth across server, storage, SAN/NAS, and network platforms (VMware, NetApp, Cisco, ARISTA, EMC) he combines that with proven staff and vendor management skills to keep complex projects on schedule. His background includes leadership roles at USAA, AIG, JPMorgan Chase and IBM, and a track record of executing high-ROI infrastructure projects such as a 320-server migration and multi-site DNS/DHCP support. Based in Carrollton, TX, he pairs operational pragmatism with clear cross-level communication and a knack for tightening physical and procedural controls in demanding environments. Despite a long operations career, he remains hands-on in cabling, rack/power design and DCIM tooling, which keeps him connected to day-to-day realities while leading strategy.
