I shipped Web Bot Auth in one month: https://developers.cloudflare.com/bots/concepts/bot/verified-bots/web-bot-auth/

Web Bot Auth makes it possible for Cloudflare to charge AI crawlers for access to your website with confidence.

I wrote + open-sourced a Rust library for anyone to implement it themselves. It not only implements web bot authentication - it also implements RFC 9421 from scratch, so you can use it as "just" an HTTP message signatures library.

I built all of that logic into our edge network to verify a request automatically.

I single-handedly stood up all of the core infrastructure needed to register a new AI crawler as a verified bot: Kubernetes, Postgres, a new APi in Golang that other teams can call into.

I made a fleet of UDP / TCP / IP network proxies in Rust serving >500k requests per second faster and more reliable.

and designing in-memory caches populated out-of-band on the critical path

guard tunnels, and designed + delivered a highly-available analytics pipeline

socket ancillary data and eBPF-based packet loss detection in the kernel

Built an A/B testing framework for Orpheus (see link below); implemented multiple novel global

route computation algorithms before product went generally available

routing and platform reliability for over 100+ services across multiple regions

undertook VPC design and Postgres load balancing for new Australia datacenter

breakers, DNS failover with healthchecks, diff generation for production changes.

Same responsibilities as at Autodesk.

PlanGrid was acquired by Autodesk in February 2019.
