Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Durant is an experienced IT specialist and adjunct instructor with over 25 years in systems, virtualization, storage and cloud technologies and a decade of recent professional experience in higher education and product support. He has led large infrastructure programs, secured multimillion-dollar contracts through thoughtful redesigns, and managed thousands of servers and SAN environments while troubleshooting complex Windows, Linux, VMware and Hyper-V ecosystems. As a Computer Engineer at Unitrends he translated deep technical concepts into customer-facing solutions, improved self-service knowledge bases, and performed hands-on recovery and appliance administration across CentOS and various hypervisors. Based in South Carolina, he combines classroom teaching with practical field experience guiding students toward careers in networking and IT operations. A former Army CPT, he brings disciplined project execution and a knack for solving messy, high-stakes infrastructure problems — and outside of work he’s as likely to be found fishing or cheering on family activities as debugging a stubborn RAID array.
