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 across growth, marketing operations, ecommerce, and digital strategy. I also use AI to build apps, test ideas, and turn practical problems into working tools.

Products and tools I build to solve real problems.

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.

The tech person

I have always been the person people call when technology stops cooperating.

Steven Morano
Steven MoranoWestchester, New York

I have always been unusually comfortable learning technology and figuring out how systems work. If something breaks, I want to know why. If a program is confusing, I keep working with 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.

What interests me most is the problem-solving side of technology: understanding how something works, finding the friction, and figuring out a better way to do it. That same instinct shows up in how I approach marketing, systems, and the software projects I build.

Origin

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.
