Florin Loghiade is a Principal Site Reliability Engineer at UiPath and a Microsoft Azure MVP, with over 12 years of experience across cloud architecture, platform engineering, and SRE. His work sits at the intersection of running production systems at scale and designing the platforms that make that possible, with a strong focus on Kubernetes, Azure, security, and FinOps.

After years spent migrating and modernizing brownfield environments into Azure, Florin now spends most of his time on the operational side of cloud: how large platforms actually behave under load, how to keep them secure and observable, and how to keep their cost curve sane. He has designed and implemented highly scalable architectures grounded in the Zero Trust model, built automation systems that meaningfully reduce cloud spend, and led security uplift programs aligned to frameworks like HIPAA, PCI, and GDPR.

Florin is a strong believer in everything as code, in automating the boring parts so engineers can focus on the interesting ones, and in sharing the lessons that only come from operating systems in production. He writes regularly at florinloghiade.ro and speaks at community events on cloud architecture, platform engineering, security, and the realities of running things at scale.
