Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Romano is a director and full-stack developer with 10 years of experience blending software architecture, DevOps, and human-centered design to support research, archival, and collaborative creative projects. He has led development and operational improvements for research-focused platforms like Eterna—rewriting backends, adding tests, and implementing observability and reproducible computation pipelines—while also driving strategy and operations for a fiscally sponsored nonprofit that uses games and hybrid intelligence for public science. Comfortable across the stack, Jonathan’s practical DevOps work includes hardening server deployments, fixing database socket issues, and streamlining builds so services run reliably from different directories. He pairs hands-on technical leadership with UX/DX sensibilities, prioritizing usable, maintainable systems and measurable KPIs. Based in Palma but rooted in U.S. research and academic environments, he brings an uncommon mix of production engineering discipline and enthusiasm for novel HCI and creative research collaborations.
