Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Persons is a seasoned network administrator with nine years of experience designing and securing complex campus, data center, and hybrid cloud networks. Currently at Akamai, he builds purpose-built, highly secure network architectures and has led projects simplifying PCI compliance, intelligent building network design, and operational tooling. Fluent in Python and bash, he pairs hands-on scripting with deep protocol knowledge and extensive work in SIEM, incident forensics, DNS, and high-security firewall architectures. His background includes consulting work delivering risk-based security strategies and SIEM deployments, plus teaching QRadar administration and debugging across multiple languages. Based in Boston, he brings a pragmatic blend of operational rigor and automation that reduces toil and improves incident response. An unusual detail: despite a career in high places of network design, his GitHub bio humorously notes he is "afraid of heights."
