Co-Founder · Product Engineer — Cybersecurity SaaS · UK · 2023 — 2024

Unshortlink is a secure cloud-browsing tool — users open any URL inside an isolated server-side browser, keeping their device away from malware and tracking. Built and operated end-to-end as Co-Founder & Product Engineer.

■ Context

Engineered for speed and abuse resistance. Sessions launch instantly with zero install and no extension required. The product has to be fast enough that users don't fall back to clicking the raw link, and resilient enough that adversaries can't turn the browser pool into their own playground.

■ What I did

01 — Isolated browsing
Server-side browser pool — every URL opens in an isolated session. Malware and tracking stay on the server, never reach the user's device.

02 — Zero-friction launch
Engineered for speed. Sessions start instantly with no install, no extension, no signup — friction is the enemy of safe behaviour.

03 — Abuse resistance
Built to resist the obvious adversaries: rate limits, session quarantine, allowlists, and shutdown paths for sessions that try to turn the pool into a botnet.

04 — Product end-to-end
Co-founded the company. Owned product, frontend, infra and the user experience — from landing page to the moment a session loads.
