Marco Cano is a Research Programmer III based in San Diego with nine years of full-stack experience blending front-end polish and back-end robustness across MongoDB, MySQL, Node/Express, and modern JS frameworks like React, Vue and Angular. He began as a graphic designer and illustrator, and that design-first sensibility informs his work—he still designs for clients through his PoisonousMe business and contributed 600+ custom emojis for Grindr. At Scripps Research he applies practical engineering to research software, shipping responsive, API-driven apps and integrating databases and cloud services. Marco builds and leads small product efforts end-to-end (examples include UniConn and GitMe), enjoys learning new technologies, and aims to create digital experiences that are both visually compelling and widely used.
