Top SchoolPatrick Flor is a seasoned engineering leader and founder with 13 years of experience building data-driven tools, AI systems, and developer workflows from startups to Google-scale environments. Currently VP and Head of Engineering at Flex and co-founder/CEO of Platter, he blends hands-on product and platform engineering with team building and operational rigor across risk, underwriting, and automation domains. Patrick has led cross-functional teams to ship production ML/LLM tooling, CI/CD and platform infrastructure, and mobile/GraphQL products under aggressive timelines. His background spans backend systems, data pipelines, and frontend UX work—plus practical ops and SRE improvements that reduce toil and MTTR. He’s comfortable moving between code, architecture, and coaching, and has a recurring focus on making databases and developer workflows less fragile (databases as cattle, not pets).
