I currently work as a Principal Systems Engineer on Cloudflare’s Egress team, within the broader Traffic Engineering organization. We’re a team of developers who maintain and operate an internal platform that many Cloudflare products and services use to connect to the Internet. Generally, I’m most at home in a technical leadership role. I deeply enjoy working on highly complex systems, especially at large scale. I also enjoy and have a lot of experience with projects that require me to work with teams across diverse areas of technical focus. I have an unconventional background, with a diverse set of experiences in software development, operations, infrastructure, product, marketing, and even a brief exploration into the management track. These experiences have provided me with clarity on what I’m looking for in my own career, while simultaneously giving me the ability to empathize and effectively communicate with anyone else in the company.
