Optimal UX – Server-side A/B testing that runs before page load
Optimal UX runs experiments directly on the server side through a Cloudflare Worker, meaning variations are applied before the page even reaches the browser. The core idea is to intercept and modify the HTML stream at the edge, which eliminates client-side overhead. For websites using Cloudflare, it's just a matter of installing the Smart Agent.

I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave.
