02 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE CODE

An engineer’s mind.
A creator’s instinct.

Mario Tarosso
Mario TarossoLead Software Engineer & Technical Architect

I’m a UK-based engineer who enjoys connecting the dots between reliable systems and the people who use them.

My work spans full-stack applications, cloud infrastructure, game systems, and AI-powered tools. I care about the architecture under the surface as much as the experience on it.

Outside my day-to-day engineering work, you’ll find me building engines, sharing what I learn, and following an idea a little further than planned.
