Marco Romano is a solution-driven software engineer with 13 years of experience and over six years leading native Android projects end-to-end in fully remote teams. He specializes in modern Kotlin-based Android development—Kotlin, Coroutines, Jetpack Compose, Dagger, and SQLDelight—and has a track record of migrating legacy Java codebases to Kotlin, adopting Compose, and automating CI/CD to dramatically speed releases. Marco has shipped apps at scale (Subito: 10M downloads, 2M DAU) and contributed to open-source Matrix/Element projects and the Matrix Rust SDK, blending product-focused feature delivery with community-driven engineering. His background at Google in data center operations gives him a systems-minded approach to reliability and tooling, while his hiring and mentoring roles show strong people and process leadership. Off the clock he’s a pizza baker and cat enthusiast—small details that hint at a hands-on, curious personality.
