Victor Elias is an AI researcher and software engineer with 13 years of experience building resilient, high-performance distributed systems and real-time AI runtimes from Brazil. He led foundational infrastructure and live inference pipelines at Livepeer, shipped on-chain protocol work for Arbitrum, and now focuses on challenging frontier models and crafting expert data at Vetto AI. Comfortable across backend, full-stack, and cloud-native tooling, he has a track record of improving reliability in critical libraries (e.g., Go Livepeer server, a robust RabbitMQ wrapper) and squeezing millisecond-level gains in platform routers. A practical engineer with deep systems and low-level experience from internships at Google, Microsoft, Facebook and AWS, he combines product-facing integration work with devops-grade abstractions. Known as a "software artisan" on GitHub, he blends rigorous academic training from ITA with a creator-centric approach to make real-time media and AI experiences extensible and observable.

Official Go implementation of the Livepeer protocol
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer
Contributions:201 reviews, 15 commits, 57 PRs in 1 year 2 months
Contributions summary:Victor primarily focused on improving the Livepeer server's backend functionality. Their contributions include refactoring the drivers package, adding a real-time ratio histogram metric for monitoring, and implementing stream health events to a metadata queue. They also addressed several issues by grabbing StreamID & SessionID from the auth webhook and fixed timeout issues. These changes improve the reliability and monitoring capabilities of the Livepeer protocol's server-side operations, particularly related to transcoding and stream health.
