  Building "Data Loss Prevention" at Cloudflare. Say a hacker gets into your corporate network and exfiltrates your customer's personal health data to Pastebin. Or say your employee accidentally sends your credit card data to the wrong website, or uploads it to a public Google Drive folder. DLP is a new feature in Cloudflare's zero trust suite. It scans, detects and stops these disastrous data leaks. Over 15 I built out the majority of Cloudflare's DLP, including the data plane, backend and API. Before one year was up we had several paying accounts. I'm very proud of the team we built! Show less

• System Engineer

  • May 2018 - Feb 2022

  Mostly spent building Cloudflare Tunnel, a security-focused tool that deploys applications to the internet, allowing companies around the world to migrate off their VPNs and get their employees working from home securely. I am the biggest contributor to cloudflared, the client package for starting tunnels.Year 1: Tunnel had just graduated out of beta and into general availability. My first year was spent working closely with Product to add features onto the MVP. I built the Free/logged-out mode, a new UI, an end-to-end 24/7 monitoring framework, and its admin panel.Year 2: As the product grew we hit reliability bottlenecks. I migrated the backend microservices from Marathon to Kubernetes so we could load balance across different backend nodes. I found and removed single points of failure, made a simple database framework so we had better monitoring of our SQL queries (and ensured they would fail gracefully), and built a new flow for tunnels to reconnect even if the backend was down.Year 3: Reliability work bought us enough time to do a rebuild of our architecture. We replaced the microservices with one stateless, horizontally-scaled service. Now users tunnels were provisioned ahead-of-time, so running a tunnel had far fewer dependencies. The new ahead-of-time provisioning architecture allowed me to implement many new features, like routing many local services over a single tunnel with flexible rules-based multiplexing, or improving our client software's integration with Kubernetes.Year 4: I built a new service for integrating Tunnel with Magic Transit, Secure Web Gateway etc. Then I moved to the Secure Web Gateway team to help them build new Rust features. I'm now starting a new team to build new data loss prevention products. Show less

• Director

  • Feb 2012 - Oct 2012

  Directed and co-wrote an original variety show with a cast of 60. Directing involved managing and collaborating with our heads of writing/dance/vocals/band to produce original content for the show and ensure our singers/dancers/band learned it. As directors of acting, we cast, taught and directed the actors, many of whom had never acted before. We designed the lighting for each scene, ordered the show, ran rehearsals, planned camps and liaised with the producer/executive.Together, my co-director and I managed a show seen by almost 2000 people that received raving reviews in student newspapers and social media. It was a great success. Show less
