He is the son of a former sprinter Carlos José Camilo de Oliveira who represented Brazil in the 1980s.[1]

He began to stand out by participating in the team from Brazil that won the 2019 Relay Worlds, held in Yokohama, Japan, with the mark of 38.05. At the 2019 Summer University in Naples, Italy, he won two gold medals in the 100m and 200m sprints. He won the 100m dash with the 10s09 mark.[3]

In 2016 his best mark in the 100m was 10s26, evolving to 10s08 in 2017. On September 14, 2018, he obtained the 10s02 mark for the first time, the 2nd best mark in the history of Brazil in the 100m, second only to Robson Caetano, with 10s spiked. He repeated the 10s02 time in April 2019.[4]

At the 2019 Pan American Games, held in Lima, Peru, he won the silver medal in the 100m, proof where Brazil has not won a medal since 1999, and gold in Brazil's 4 × 100 m relay. [5][6]

In August 2019, at the Brazil Trophy, he won the 100m with the 9s90 mark, which was just not validated as a new South American Record because it was obtained with a wind of +3.2 m/s (the limit is + 2 m/s). [7]

In late September 2019, he went to the World Athletics Championship in Doha, Qatar, where he won the 100m heats with the 10s11 mark. The last time a Brazilian had gone to a semifinal in this event, was in Gothenburg 1995. He was just 0.03s from qualifying for the final: he finished 12th overall, with the mark of 10s14 in the semis, while the 8th and last classified for the final got 10s11.[8][9][10]
