-Made Tailscale ready for the cloud, by creating features that allowed it to run in lightweight, unprivileged container environments. This included a virtual networking stack for connecting to the Tailscale network without kernel privileges to create a network driver, a SOCKS5 proxy to allow applications to communicate over this virtual networking stack, and ephemeral authentication keys for stateless access to the Tailscale network. Also published long-form technical content on company blog (https://tailscale.com/blog/2021-05-github-actions-and-tailscale/) and contributed to product knowledge base.
