Cloud & Backend Engineer

Portrait of Andrei Vince

Andrei Vince

I build and maintain systems that keep data moving reliably, from real-time pipelines to AI-assisted tooling that teams can trust.

Computer Engineering student at UNC Charlotte graduating in December 2027. HackGT 12 winner. I architect production cloud pipelines that move millions of financial events, collaborate on AI-driven 3D research with Dr. Sabri Gokmen, and translate emerging ideas into durable tools for fast-moving teams.

Projects

Work built for production and play

Production-grade systems and experiments that demonstrate how I ship dependable software with outcomes recruiters and founders bank on.

AWS Real-Time Financial Data Pipeline

2025

An open-source, production-grade serverless backend that processed 2.3 million simulated events in 88 minutes with 53 ms p95 latency for just $1.19 per million requests.

Architected and deployed a high-throughput ingestion system capable of handling over 30,000 requests per minute with zero errors or throttles.
