Years in marketing
Operations, growth, paid acquisition, ecommerce, and lifecycle.
Open to remote and hybrid marketing roles
Steven Morano
Marketing is my career. Technology is how I work.
I have spent more than a decade in digital marketing and marketing operations. I also use AI to build apps, test ideas, and solve problems that I used to leave sitting in a notebook.

Selected projects
Ideas I am turning into working software.
I am a marketer, not a traditional software engineer. I build because I like figuring out how things work, and AI has made it possible for me to turn more of my ideas into real tools.

I have always been the person people call when technology stops cooperating.
Steven MoranoRye Brook, New York
I am not an IT professional or a traditional software developer. I am just very comfortable with computers. If something breaks, I want to know why. If a program is confusing, I keep using it until it makes sense.
That habit has followed me through design engineering, digital marketing, ecommerce, paid media, CRM work, automation, and now AI-assisted software.
Before AI, most of my app ideas stayed in a notebook because I could not build them on my own. Now I work with tools such as Codex, Claude, and Gemini to prototype those ideas, test them, and keep learning.
An engineering foundation
Before marketing, I was a design engineer at Bolt Technology. The job put me between engineering, manufacturing, software, IT, and business leadership. It is older experience, but it explains how I approach problems.
Community building
I also run a small Skool community for adults with ADHD who work from home. It is evolving toward digital organization, personal finance, practical AI tools, and accountability.
