2026 graduate · Product + AI

I build products that make complex systems feel simple.

I’m Danilo, an Electrical & Computer Engineering graduate who works at the intersection of product, technical programs, data, and AI.

02 · Building now

Turning industrial automation into a modern software experience.

I build outside the job description too. Chelix is where my product, engineering, and AI interests meet.

Founder · 2025–PresentAI + Industrial software

Chelix

A PLC engineering workspace for understanding, editing, and debugging industrial automation projects with AI.

Designed around local-first project handling and an engineering workflow that keeps people in control of every proposed change.

  • Imports and visualizes real PLC project files
  • Combines deterministic engineering tools with AI assistance
  • Runs across browser and desktop experiences

03 · About

Engineer by training. Product thinker by instinct.

I graduated from McMaster University in 2026 with a background in Electrical & Computer Engineering and a habit of working between disciplines.

I’m at my best when the problem is technical, the path is unclear, and the solution has to work for real people. My experience spans AI applications, data platforms, vehicle software, manufacturing programs, and industrial automation.

I care about direct communication, strong product judgment, and shipping the useful version—not the theoretical one.
