Summary
Daniel Collins is a product development engineer and entrepreneur with nine years of hands-on experience across semiconductor build planning, lithography automation, and electrochemical research. Leveraging co-op and intern roles at AMD and ASML, he has automated data workflows and authored the first CoWoS SOPs to accelerate server CPU bring-up and inventory planning. A UT Austin Chemical Engineering honors graduate, he pairs practical lab experience—two published catalysis papers and work on biodegradation and electrocatalysts—with systems-level engineering on a collegiate liquid-bipropellant rocket. He also co-founded a distillation/brewing company, applying process design and optimization to ethanol synthesis, showing a rare blend of industrial, research, and entrepreneurial instincts. Based in Austin, he’s equally comfortable building Python/Snowflake data pipelines and designing cryogenic fluid models, and he’s open to technical conversations and collaborations.
