Summary
🤩
RockstarDaniel Souza is a seasoned software engineer and technology leader with 11 years of experience building scalable AI and cloud-native systems from Brazil's Santa Catarina. He has led engineering and AI teams in healthcare, delivering mission-critical, privacy-conscious speech recognition solutions that run cloud, on-premise, and desktop, and he fine-tuned custom ASR and LLM-based pipelines for multilingual clinical contexts. As a full-stack engineer at LiveFlow he designed high-concurrency financial modules and real-time bank feed integrations using Elixir, Phoenix and React, emphasizing idempotent sync and rigorous testing. Daniel is an active contributor to open-source speech-to-text tooling (notably coqui-ai/STT), where he improved native client interfaces and model loading from buffers to make model usage more efficient. Comfortable operating in the gap between “it works on my machine” prototypes and production-grade systems, he combines hands-on implementation with architectural leadership to ship reliable, auditable software for regulated domains.
