About Me

A headshot of Gaetano

I've contributed to large-scale enterprise systems, converted millions of data points into intuitive visualizations, and led front-end development for clients like McDonald's and Hyatt. I've worked closely with other developers, designers, data scientists, strategists, UX/UI designers, project managers, and C-level executives. My background in academic philosophy and human-centered design helps me to effectively discuss complex ideas with these cross-disciplinary teams and clients.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!
