Top SchoolChris Florin is a Senior Cloud Engineer with nine years of experience designing and leading scalable, secure AWS architectures and distributed microservice systems. He has led teams of up to 15 developers, designers, and testers and built and managed international DevOps groups while driving migrations to multi-account AWS environments and SOC 2 readiness. Deeply hands-on with EC2, ECS, RDS, CloudFormation, CI/CD pipelines and AWS security tooling, he focuses on resilient, cost-effective infrastructure and improved time-to-production. Chris has a track record of large migrations (including multi-TB database moves from Azure to AWS), standardizing microservice templates, and mentoring engineering teams to adopt IaC and best practices. Based in Orlando, he combines independent consulting experience with senior roles at growth-stage companies, often serving as the bridge between security, operations, and product delivery.
