Orange, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFlorian Margaine is a Field CTO and seasoned engineering leader with 14 years of experience building scalable cloud platforms and guiding enterprise adoption at Platform.sh. He combines hands-on systems engineering—from Debian/nginx stacks to distributed platform observability—with executive leadership roles that scaled engineering, operations, security, and product alignment. A pragmatic contributor to open source, Florian has improved projects across ecosystems from the Linux/PHP/Node worlds to niche efforts like the Common Lisp Hunchentoot web server and the StumpWM window manager, often focusing on security-sensitive features such as session management. He pairs deep technical curiosity (experiments in Go and Common Lisp) with customer-facing strategy, bridging product value and developer experience. Based in Orange, France, he is equally comfortable refactoring documentation and shipping core backend features, a sign of someone who stays close to the code while shaping engineering culture.
