Experience

Cloudflare | Software Engineering Intern

06/2026 – 09/2026

Owned the end-to-end onboarding of two consumer-facing services (Workers KV and Containers) onto Cloudflare's Maintenance Coordination System (MCS), coordinating with service teams to align requirements and resolve blockers.
Modelled both services' quorum constraints in TypeScript, backed by unit and integration test suites, enabling MCS to automatically block quorum-breaking maintenances.
Independently identified and closed a CLI bypass of timeframe validation by moving checks into the API schema, ensuring consistent enforcement across clients.
Diagnosed and fixed timezone-dependent bugs in the MCS test suite, adding a regression harness.
