Hi. I'm Danilo. I build things, I fix things, and I spend a lot of time thinking about why we bother doing either in the first place.

I run Alonso Network, a principled software consultancy for people who still believe that quality matters, reasoning isn’t optional, and shortcuts eventually cost more than they save. My work lives at the intersection of philosophical rigor and deep technical skill—with just enough sarcasm to make the process tolerable.

What I Actually Do (When I'm Not Yelling at CI Pipelines)

  • Architecting systems from first principles (because frameworks change, but truth doesn’t)
  • Designing robust, maintainable infrastructures that won’t collapse when you look at them funny
  • Automating processes, scaling platforms, and eliminating technical debt (preferably before it buries your team)
  • Helping founders, engineers, and teams build things that actually work—and work well

What I Believe

  • Truth matters. In code, in business, and especially in communication.
  • Craft matters. I don’t ship "MVPs" that are held together with duct tape and denial.
  • Work is sacred—not in the hustle-culture way, but in the Tolkien way: thoughtful, persistent, and meaningful.
  • Good software is like a good cathedral: it takes time, structure, and the humility to know you didn’t invent arches.

What I Don't Do

  • Chase trends
  • Write code I wouldn't want to maintain myself
  • Work with people who treat engineers like vending machines
  • Compromise on integrity for convenience (yours or mine)

The Boring Bits

I've spent years in the trenches—DevOps, system design, data pipelines, startup scaling, process automation, team leadership. I've worked with dreamers, doers, and the occasional delusional visionary. Somehow, I always end up being the one who makes it actually work.

My technical influences range from Dennis Ritchie to Thomas Aquinas, and I think C.S. Lewis would’ve made a great software architect.
