I’m a Munich-based Marketing Website Developer with 15 years in tech. I own marketing websites end to end, covering full-stack development, SEO/GEO implementation, and CRO across international markets.

My Career Journey

Italy

Germany

From 2023 to 2024 I worked as Technical Project Manager at Lancaster University Leipzig, Germany. I ran the Computer Science pre-bachelor and pre-master courses, standardised delivery across seven lecturers, and increased student satisfaction from 50% to 90%.

In 2025 I started collaborating remotely with ForEveryone Berlin, a non-profit, as a volunteer. I am now their Web Lead, running a 4-person web team on the marketing site and design system.

Testimonials

Colleagues and clients, in their words.

  • Marco and I worked closely together for a brief period, but it was enough for me to recognize the depth of his technical knowledge, his relentless commitment to solving problems, and his belief in building scalable systems rather than one-off patches. He is a brilliant teammate who is always ready to jump in and support others. I highly recommend Marco as a creative, diligent, and deeply knowledgeable professional.

    Marco owned our website end to end and was always focused on creating the best experience for users and the business. A standout achievement was building the parcelLab Page Builder (PLPB) from the ground up, enabling teams to prototype and build pages through Claude and move much faster.

    He also helped bring AI agent work with Claude Code from prototype to production, showing real curiosity for new technology and a strong instinct for where it could deliver value.

    Beyond his technical ability, Marco was thoughtful, collaborative, and a pleasure to work with. I'd happily recommend him to any team looking for someone who combines strong engineering skills with product ownership and a great attitude.
