Summary
Laurentiu Pavel is a founder and seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable, user-facing systems and infrastructure across Microsoft and high-growth startups. He led design and implementation of real-time collaboration and sync for Microsoft Whiteboard, helped scale Azure Resource Manager services handling billions of requests, and worked on core file storage for SharePoint. At Convoy he focused on logistics software that improves driver income and reduces empty miles, demonstrating a practical, impact-driven engineering approach. Now leading ProfLLM, he is applying that systems and product experience to integrate AI thoughtfully into education while preserving proven pen-and-paper learning practices. Based in Bellevue, WA, Laurentiu pairs hands-on implementation skills with operational thinking—he’s comfortable moving from protocol design to CI/CD and service decomposition. A quietly productive engineer, he also has a track record of early-prototype innovation (including Surface Duo work and multiple patents) that signals a talent for turning novel ideas into shipping products.
