Cloudflare Cowboy sheriff badge

The frontier of the internet is still lawless

There's a new sheriff at the edge.

Wrangling the cloud, one outlaw at a time.

The open internet is full of outlaws we've all just learned to live with: tolls at the gate, content rustlers, data that drifts across borders. I round them up with real fixes built on Cloudflare. Every wanted poster below is a live demo, not a slide.

WANTED poster: The Stampede, A stampede of bots at the gate.
Why it matters

Keep credential-stuffing and card-testing off the funnel, with no app code to change.

Cloudflare Rate Limiting

Throttle floods of bots and card-testing at the edge, before they ever reach origin.

WANTED poster: The Slowpoke, Slow pages that lose the crowd.
Why it matters

Faster global pages and far less origin load, without an app rewrite.

Cloudflare Cache / CDN

Cache slow renders at the edge so the first hit pays the cost and every hit after is instant.

Bring 'em in →
WANTED poster: The Hoarder, Bots that hoard the whole drop.
Why it matters

Fair limited drops with no overselling or chargebacks, even when bots pile in.

Cloudflare D1

One atomic write guards a limited drop, so it can never oversell, even under a stampede.

Case Files

The same outlaws, in their world.

Healthcare SaaS

About

Pre-sales SE who speaks security & compliance.

I translate complex technology into customer-aligned solutions: technical discovery, POCs, RFP support, and deployments across enterprise, federal healthcare, and SLED. Most recently a Senior Sales Engineer at Zebra Technologies, and now in business development at ComplyPlanet, a GRC consultancy, where I stay close enough to compliance work to translate it for buyers.

Background: U.S. Army veteran, M.S. Information Systems, B.S. Information Systems Security (summa cum laude). I build with Workers, edge data, and modern AI tooling because the fastest way to understand a platform is to ship on it.

Let's talk

Got an outlaw I should round up?

I'm a Solutions Engineer looking for my next team. I learn a platform by shipping real demos on it, and this whole site is the proof. Happy to walk any of them live, or talk shop about closing the gaps in your stack.
