Biography

Danilo Oliveira

Software Engineer building distributed systems and AI products.

Over the past 20 years, I've progressed from building core frameworks for millions of banking users to founding an IoT startup, and now leading AI-driven products.

Currently, I am a Tech Lead at Private Identity, where I guide the architecture of scalable, secure systems—specifically focusing on Edge AI maintaining hands-on delivery.

Independent Ventures

Alongside my primary role, I invest my time in building side projects that explore new patterns in AI and engineering. Currently, I'm developing StridePose, an AI-powered gait analysis tool, and building turboquant-js, an open-source implementation of Google's TurboQuant algorithm for near-optimal vector quantization.

The Startup Journey

In 2018, I co-founded Enjoy.it, an IoT FoodTech platform that transformed how the beverage industry handled automation and monitoring at customer sites. As CTO, I led product strategy, operations, and the engineering behind our IoT hardware and cloud infrastructure.

We raised over 1M BRL, joined the prestigious Cubo Itaú network, and were recognized as a Top 10 Brazilian FoodTech by 100 Open Startups across multiple years. In 2022, I exited daily operations to transition into an advisory role, where I continue to guide their technology strategy and scalability.

Scale & Leadership

Before my founder journey, I spent several years deeply embedded in high-scale enterprise environments. As a Senior Software Engineer consulting for TripAdvisor, I shipped features under rigorous governance standards using Java, GraphQL, and Kafka.

As Head of Engineering at Cubo Itaú, I built the engineering organization from the ground up, delivering a 100% serverless digital platform. Prior to that, I oversaw web and mobile systems serving over 1.5 million customers as a Senior Staff Engineer at Cielo, and spent seven years at Itaú Unibanco, where I led a core framework team delivering improvements that impacted 12 million internet banking clients.
