Every component of this project runs on Cloudflare's global network —
demonstrating real-world usage of the full enterprise product suite.
⚡
Cloudflare Workers
Serverless Compute
The entire application runs as a single Cloudflare Worker — scraping RSS feeds, orchestrating AI calls, serving the dashboard, and handling all API endpoints at the edge with zero cold starts.
"I built the entire backend as a Worker — no servers, no containers, deploys in seconds."
🗄️
Cloudflare D1
Serverless SQL Database
All prospect data, AI summaries, signal scores, contact enrichment, and company intelligence is stored in D1 — a fully managed SQLite database running at the edge alongside the Worker.
"D1 gives me relational SQL with zero infrastructure — the right tool for structured prospect data."
🤖
Workers AI
Free-Tier AI Inference
Mistral 7B runs on Workers AI free tier for signal classification, company scoring, and executive research — processing all 20 companies with zero API cost. Claude handles premium briefings for high-value targets only.
"I use Workers AI for triage and Claude for depth — a hybrid approach that cuts AI costs by 70%."
📦
Cloudflare R2
Object Storage
Every daily intelligence report is automatically archived to R2 — both as Word documents and email HTML. Zero egress fees mean historical reports can be retrieved from anywhere at no cost.
"R2 gives me a zero-cost archive of every daily report — D1 for live data, R2 for history."
🔐
Zero Trust Access
Identity-Aware Authentication
The dashboard is protected by Cloudflare Access with OTP email authentication — no VPN, no password database, no traditional login. Any visitor hits a Zero Trust perimeter before reaching the application.
"I don't just pitch Zero Trust — I run my own sales tools behind it."
🛡️
Cloudflare Turnstile
Frustration-Free CAPTCHA
All write endpoints — scraping, AI generation, email sending — are protected by Turnstile's invisible bot detection. No traffic lights, no checkboxes. Proves human intent without user friction.
"I built a scraper, so I know how easy it is to abuse unprotected APIs. Turnstile stops that cold."
🌐
Cloudflare Pages
CDN-Backed Static Hosting
This portfolio page is deployed on Cloudflare Pages — served from Cloudflare's global CDN with automatic SSL, instant deployments, and enterprise-grade performance without any configuration.
"Pages handles the public-facing portfolio while Workers handles the protected intelligence tool."
🔗
Cloudflare Tunnel
Secure Remote Network Access
Configured and deployed a production Cloudflare Tunnel on macOS — exposing a home Mac file server and WD NAS to the internet securely via files.bradbarts.com and nas.bradbarts.com, with no open firewall ports and no VPN. Diagnosed and resolved blocking conflicts from Cloudflare WARP and legacy security software during deployment. Configured auto-start via launchd for persistent uptime.
"I deployed Tunnel from scratch on a constrained legacy OS — diagnosing network blocks, version conflicts, and credential issues end-to-end."
