Cloud engineer turned customer engineer. I translate L3 to L7 into business outcomes, and I build on Cloudflare myself.
Every request to this page takes the same path as a request through Cloudflare. Each hop tells you something about me.
Customer engineer with 7.5 years at Google Cloud and time at Oracle. 11 cloud certifications, all used in front of customers.
I sold Cloudflare at Oracle and trained 400 sellers on it. Now I want to be on the side of the network that builds it.
Discovery before demos. I learned that the hard way, and now I ask before I show.
Helped a hosting provider land a $44M ARR deal, with BYOIP and a DDoS architecture decision at the center.
A RAG pipeline on Cloudflare, and this domain, registered and proxied through Cloudflare with Full (strict) TLS.
I tell customers when a product is not the right fit, and I own my mistakes instead of passing them on.
I read the threat reports, build on the platform, and start every customer meeting with their problem, not my slides.
When I disagree, I say so with data, and once we decide, I commit.
The Q3 DDoS report shows attacks getting shorter and smaller but far more frequent. Most end before a human could react, which is the strongest case I know for always-on protection.
