About Daniel Barron

I’m a passionate and driven Technology Leader with over 18 years of experience in Networking and IT Infrastructure, currently leading the OT Network Engineering Team at Southern Company. My career has spanned industries—from delivering critical network infrastructure at Arthur M. Blank Hospital to supporting resilient, secure OT environments in the energy sector.What excites me most is solving complex connectivity challenges across critical infrastructure. I thrive in high-stakes environments where uptime and reliability are essential, and I’m committed to building strong, collaborative teams that grow through change.In 2025, I expanded my team with two strategic hires and continue to focus on leadership development and scalable team growth. I’m always eager to learn, take on new challenges, and mentor others along the way.Outside of work, I’m deeply passionate about the Bible and theology. I earned a master’s degree in biblical and theological foundations in December 2023 and believe that shared values are essential in both personal and professional life.Let’s connect and explore how we can collaborate to make a meaningful impact.
