Summary
Andrew Torr is a pragmatic software developer with 11 years of experience who bridges physics-rooted analytical thinking, hands-on teaching, and full-stack engineering to build accessible, production-ready applications. He’s shipped React front-ends and C#/.NET backends for education-focused products (VeriCite, Turnitin) and now focuses on automation, networking, and API integration at NineStar Connect while co-founding Viriditas Labs to apply LLMs in conversational training tools.
