Nicholas Vasconcellos

Computer Science Master's Student & Software Engineer

Specializing in workflow automation, systems programming, and machine learning

About Me

Over two years of experience as a Workfront System Administrator at Universal Destinations and Experiences, progressing from intern to full-time based on delivering impactful automations and integrations. Developed solutions using Workfront Fusion and APIs that automated workflows across marketing and sales teams, successively taking on increasing responsibility for system orchestration and supporting end users on the project management platform.

While working full time, pursuing a Master's in Computer Science at the University of Florida (graduating December 2025), I am particularly interested in data structures, algorithms, and machine learning. Academic projects include implementing advanced data structures in C++, building a CNN for digit recognition, and developing a Linux file system.

I Recently left my position to carry out a study abroad program at Kyoto University through a University of Florida partnership, with current coursework focusing on AI applications for game development. Actively building a 3D multiplayer game in Godot Engine using C#, implementing physics-based mechanics and AI behavior systems.

Currently seeking a software engineering new grad role where I can tackle complex, cross-disciplinary problems and contribute to meaningful, impactful work.
