I built a full Cloudflare Zero Trust stack on a personal blog — Access, Gateway, Tunnel, WARP, Browser Isolation, CASB, and DLP. Seven products, one afternoon, zero hardware.

I created an AI-generated video about the moment everything clicked — and delivered it using Cloudflare Stream. No transcoding pipeline, no video CDN, no infrastructure. Upload a video, get a player.

Rebuilding the site on Astro — the framework Cloudflare acquired. Markdown-based blog posts, faster builds, and deploying on the same framework used by Porsche, IKEA, and OpenAI.

I built an interactive playground where visitors can run shell, Python, and JavaScript in isolated Linux containers at the edge.

I built a feature where visitors can ask questions and get AI-generated answers from blog content. Three Cloudflare products, zero external APIs, all running at the edge.

I deployed all three core developer platform products on saltwaterbrc.com in a single day. Here's what I built, what broke, and what I can now explain to any customer.

Workers, Durable Objects, R2, Workers AI, and Sandbox SDK. Each build maps directly to a use case I'm pitching in the field right now.

After nearly a decade at Cloudflare, I'm doing something I should have done a long time ago — building on the platform myself.
