Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Collins is a Managing Architect with 12+ years of hands-on experience designing, implementing, and operating large-scale data, voice, and video networks for Loews Corporation and its subsidiaries. He combines deep expertise in LAN/WAN architecture, MPLS/DMVPN transitions, network security (VRFs, firewalls, segmentation), and a broad tooling ecosystem (Netbrain, NetMRI, ThousandEyes, PRTG) to drive reliable, auditable infrastructure changes. Daniel has led major initiatives including private-cloud migrations, OTV-based co-location network extensions, and enterprise-wide AD trust and disaster recovery programs, consistently delivering on time and under budget. He is skilled at both low-level device management (Cisco routers, Nexus, ASA, Palo Alto) and high-level project leadership, bridging operations, security audits, and vendor integrations. Based in London with a BS in Information Systems, he brings a practical systems mindset from long-term ownership of networks and infrastructure across corporate and hotel environments. An underappreciated strength is his track record of translating third-party audit findings into measurable security and resiliency improvements that stand up in production.
