Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJimmy Burrell is an experienced IT and systems professional with 11+ years in hands-on development, infrastructure, and leadership roles, most recently consulting and volunteering from Brandon, Mississippi. He led IT strategy and built proprietary ad delivery systems as Director of IT at Hightower Agency, while earlier managing enterprise networks, data centers, and security as Manager of Data Communications. Comfortable across LAMP stacks, macOS, Linux, Windows, and Cisco networking, he pairs practical DevOps instincts with a mentor-first leadership style. Outside work he stays deeply technical—building embedded systems (Arduino, PIC), playing amateur radio, and exploring photography—which keeps his troubleshooting skills sharp in unexpected domains. Known for preferring open source tools and staying “hands-on,” he also seeks volunteer opportunities tied to oceanography, astronomy, or RF. Colleagues would describe him as a collaborative problem-solver who enjoys both mentoring and being mentored.
