I'm excited to join Cloudflare's board of directors and retire from my full-time position as CTO after more than 13 years at the company. I joined Cloudflare in 2012, seeking a technical role that would allow me to focus on systems that make up the Cloudflare platform. During my time here, I've had the opportunity to work on various projects, including the Universal SSL launch, which doubled the size of the encrypted web overnight. I've also been proud to contribute to the company's mission to build a better Internet through standards and protocols. One of the key aspects of my experience has been working with an incredible team, many of whom have become like family to me. As I move into my new role on the board, I'm looking forward to continuing to help Cloudflare grow and succeed from a different perspective, while also exploring opportunities in AI and machine learning within the company's product suite.
