# Marco Bianchi

Freelance web developer and a key contributor to Refactoring's technical operations. Marco builds and maintains the Refactoring website, landing pages, and various internal tools that support the newsletter and podcast workflows. He joined the team as a contractor in mid-2023 and has proven himself to be reliable, technically sharp, and self-directed. Based in Milan, he works primarily with React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS, and handles everything from design implementation to performance optimization.

## Notes

- Strong frontend skills with good design sensibility; can take a rough mockup and turn it into a polished, responsive page
- Works independently and communicates proactively; rarely needs hand-holding on tasks
- Fast and reliable with turnaround; Luca can trust him with time-sensitive landing page launches for sponsor campaigns
- Growing interest in full-stack development; has been picking up backend skills and contributing to API work
- Luca sees potential for Marco to take on a larger role as the business grows
