Hi 👋 I'm Matteo and I'm a
Frontend developer with a creative side quest: I design in Figma when it helps, and ship in React/Next/Tailwind when it counts. Started in Economics + Marketing, then fell into digital — best plot twist so far.
I love building ideas and making them real (bonus points if I needed the thing first). Big on knowledge sharing, because “creatives need each other”.

About
I’m Matteo Romano — a frontend developer who occasionally designs the UI too. I’m empathetic by default: I’ll think about the user even when the ticket doesn’t explicitly ask me to.
I love turning ideas into real products (fast feedback loops are my comfort zone). And I’m all about knowledge sharing: everyone has something to teach, regardless of seniority.
Timeline
A quick snapshot of how I went from marketing to UI to frontend — and why I like living at the intersection.
Economics degree (yes, I can read KPIs and CSS).
I studied Economics and later got a Master's in Marketing. That background still helps me: I like interfaces that are not only pretty, but also purposeful.
Marketing pulled me into digital (and I never left).
That's where the curiosity started: I went from "how do we communicate value?" to "how do we build the thing?".
Social, video, WordPress... then UI/UX (hello, Figma).
I love designing flows and screens, prototyping, and sweating the small details. Creative + technical has always been my comfort zone.
UX/UI turned into frontend: React, Next.js, Tailwind (plus some Vue).
I like the moment when you change a line of code and the UI responds instantly. It's the fastest feedback loop I know - and it makes me unreasonably happy.
Building things I actually use (because why not).
A lot of my projects start with a real need: a sushi night with too much chaos, a diet that needed an easier tracker, or a new idea I just want to test in the real world.
