Cloud & Backend Engineer

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. Deloitte Foundation HACU Scholar ($10,000). Dean's List 2025. HackGT 12 winner. I architect production cloud pipelines that move millions of financial events, collaborate on ACM-published AI research with Dr. Sabri Gokmen, and translate emerging ideas into durable tools for fast-moving teams.
