Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBranimir Rakic is a serial founder and CTO with 8+ years building decentralized networks and verifiable data infrastructure, best known as the architect of the OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph. He co-authored OriginTrail’s foundational white papers and has driven adoption by global organizations—ranging from the British Standards Institution to retailers like Walmart and Target—by focusing on provenance and verifiability for AI. His work spans blockchain (Ethereum, Polkadot), semantic networks, and mobile networking, and he and his team were mentored by networking pioneer Dr. Bob Metcalfe. Based in Ljubljana, he now leads Trace Labs while launching umanitek to tackle AI-era threats such as deepfakes and illicit content. Branimir combines rigorous academic training in electrical and computer engineering with hands-on product and protocol design, delivering platforms aimed at a more transparent, inclusive internet for AI. An underappreciated strength is his ability to translate low-level networking principles into practical, trust-first systems used in large-scale supply chains and retail ecosystems.
