Years in marketing
Operations, growth, paid acquisition, ecommerce, and lifecycle.
Steven Morano
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.
A few numbers
These figures come from the full-time roles listed below.
Operations, growth, paid acquisition, ecommerce, and lifecycle.
Managed across ecommerce and consumer-product accounts.
Delivered through stronger funnels, messaging, and follow-up.
Created by improving the full acquisition journey.
Professional experience
I work best in roles where I can understand the strategy, improve the systems behind it, and still stay close to the actual work.
An independent consulting practice for select client engagements involving marketing strategy, CRM, automation, websites, paid acquisition, and analytics. It also gives me a practical environment for testing new AI-assisted workflows.
Led strategy and operations for an online education and consulting company, connecting paid media, lifecycle campaigns, CRM systems, webinars, content, and sales follow-up into a more accountable growth engine.
75% more leads, 150% more enrollments, 100% revenue growth, and a 50% shorter sales cycle.
Built and operated a direct-to-consumer brand from the storefront outward: positioning, Shopify, acquisition, photography, creative, email, customer communication, inventory, and fulfillment.
Worked across multiple ecommerce brands before focusing heavily on Autobrush during its early growth phase. Managed multichannel acquisition across Google, Meta, YouTube, Amazon, TikTok, Pinterest, and other platforms for ecommerce and consumer brands.
Up to $6M in annual media responsibility, 30% higher marketing ROI, and 50% growth in qualified leads.
Helped local and small businesses improve paid search, SEO, content, websites, social media, lead generation, and the connection between marketing recommendations and client goals.
Before marketing, I studied design engineering and worked as a design engineer at Bolt Technology.
Selected projects
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.
Mapping application
A mapping application that lets users anchor historic, illustrated, trail, and other image-based maps to modern geography, then use live GPS directly on them. Includes landmark-based alignment, warped map comparison, offline storage, cloud sync, sharing, and public map discovery.
Home management
A home-management operating system for tracking major home systems, maintenance history, service records, contractors, and important property information. Built around a visual home-health dashboard with multi-property support, asset inventories, maintenance tracking, reminders, and secure user accounts.
Marketing + AI
An AI-assisted research and content workflow for Threads that discovers and organizes public posts, analyzes selected sources with OpenAI, generates original drafts, checks similarity, and routes content through a manual review and approval process.
Browser-native CAD
A browser-based floorplan tool that turns uploaded plans into editable layouts. Users can calibrate real-world scale, manually draw and resize walls and rooms, or use Gemini vision models to automatically trace floorplans into editable vector room blocks.
Tax transparency
A local tax-transparency tool that turns complex municipal and school budget data into an easier visual explanation of where property-tax dollars go. It combines source-backed public data, household-specific calculations, plain-language explanations, and links back to official records.
Chrome extension
A local-first Chrome extension for searching, filtering, organizing, and bulk-deleting large ChatGPT conversation histories. It adds advanced sorting and filtering, safely processes deletions sequentially, and keeps synced conversation metadata stored locally in the browser.
The tech person

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.
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.
Links and contact
LinkedIn is best for my professional background. GitHub is where my public projects live. Email works too.
