Elliot Briant De Oliveira -- Software Engineer, Data Scientist & Space Advocate
"Some people want to leave a mark. I just want to make sure mine reaches orbit."
Hey, I'm Elliot Briant -- aka the_social_hacker -- a software engineer with a background in full-stack development, AI integration, and space innovation. My work lies at the intersection of code, science, and community impact.
Welcome to my GitHub!
What I do when I'm not debugging reality:
- AI Whisperer: Fine-tuned LLaMA models, dissected OpenAI's JSON dreams, and made resumes confess their secrets.
- Full-Stack Wizardry: React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Docker, ColdFusion (yes, still breathing), and some TypeScript spells.
- Space Tech Enthusiast: Participated in analog astronaut missions, looking to launch experiments into microgravity, and help select humans to go up there.
- Biohacking Research: Turning proteins, genes, and muscle degeneration into code and companies. FDA approval pending, but vibes are good.
- Public Speaker & Storyteller: Because good code should come with a narrative arc.
- Startup Survivor: Ex-CTO. Built fintech, web3, and social platforms with Wi-Fi and caffeine.
About Me
I'm passionate about creating meaningful solutions that bridge today's challenges with tomorrow's possibilities -- whether it's through scalable web applications, intelligent automation, or scientific research in microgravity environments.

Space & Research
Participated in analog astronaut missions and microgravity-focused research, contributing to experiments on musculoskeletal degeneration and protein folding in space. I advocate for democratizing access to space and am actively involved in space outreach programs such as MoonDAO and TODXS Brasil. -
Engineering & Product
I've led full-stack development for fintech, music-tech, and AI SaaS platforms. My stack includes React, Node.js, Next.js, PostgreSQL, Docker, TypeScript, Golang, Python, and ColdFusion. -
AI + Automation
Designed intelligent pipelines for resume parsing, file extraction (PDF/DOCX/OCR), and built conversational agents powered by OpenAI and LLaMA. I believe good automation saves time -- and bad automation makes great debugging stories. -
Advocacy & Impact
As an ambassador for inclusion and science education, I collaborate with nonprofits and student-led initiatives to make STEM and space more accessible to underrepresented communities.
