• Technical depth in service-to-service networking, VPC connectivity, HTTP caching semantics, cache invalidation, TLS, DNS, global request routing, and the routing challenges of composing independently deployed services into applications
• Worked on Layer 7 security products such as WAF, DDoS mitigation, or bot management
• Owned multiple connected products and set direction that other product teams built against
• Worked directly with Enterprise customers on networking, connectivity, and security requirements
• Used usage, reliability, and performance data to drive roadmap decisions
