Summary
John Redden is a Technology Systems Specialist with over 15 years of hands-on IT experience and 11 years in current roles delivering multi-site support, cloud LMS deployments, and network infrastructure for K–12 environments. He blends practical system administration—Windows Server, VMware, Cisco LAN/WAN, VPNs—with instructional technology expertise, having launched D2L Brightspace, itsLearning, and Odysseyware and trained staff district-wide. Known for driving digital transformation under ambiguity, he pairs ITIL-minded service delivery and SLA stewardship with curriculum-focused projects that helped a high school earn Apple Distinguished School status for three consecutive years. Comfortable leading vendor engagements, scripting solutions, and adult learning programs, he translates technical complexity into clear training and measurable KPIs while operating autonomously in hybrid settings. An unexpected strength is his web course design and classroom-first perspective, which bridges technical rollout with real-world educator adoption.
