The atlas of useful routes.
Marco's work reads like a map: enterprise terrain, hidden channels, product coastlines, and the exact hand-drawn paths that get teams from ambiguity to shipped software.

Route Survey
Five crossings through different weather.
Endemol
UX and engineering leadership for real-time second-screen broadcast experiences at scale.
Interactive speech assistant, Android, cloud AI, and Material Design prototyping work.
Yahoo
Rapid product prototyping across portals, media, and search surfaces.
Walmart Labs
High-volume commerce loops and transactional UX patterns for checkout and merchant systems.
Kohl's
Omnichannel checkout, wallet, and AI enablement for a large design organization.
The symbols that keep reappearing.
Product strategy
Find the actual decision hidden inside a messy brief, then make the tradeoffs legible enough that teams can move.
Interaction systems
Checkout, wallet, account, internal tooling, assistant flows, and other systems where behavior matters more than ornament.
AI-native design
Use models as material for new products: memory, voice, daily rituals, trust, autonomy, and tooling for real organizations.
Prototyping
Make the idea tactile early. Code, simulate, test the gesture, and let the prototype expose the truth before meetings fossilize it.
Design leadership
Teach by making: create examples, show the working pattern, and help a team build taste around a new medium.
Craft standards
Typography, hierarchy, motion, state, density, and tiny interface decisions treated as the work, not as decoration.
What each crossing carried back.
Second-screen products, live viewer behavior, and UX-engineering overlap before the phrase was fashionable.
GoogleAssistant straitSpeech assistant prototypes, Android interaction models, cloud AI tooling, and Material Design fluency.
YahooMedia reefRapid prototyping for search, media, and portal surfaces with high organizational velocity.
WalmartCommerce gulfCheckout and merchant systems where clarity had to survive scale, constraints, and millions of repetitions.
Kohl'sCurrent harborCart, checkout, wallet, self-checkout, and generative AI enablement for an enterprise design organization.
Independent lab artifacts, plotted as signal fires.
My AI Diary
Voice-first memory, reflection, and personal AI interaction shaped like a private instrument instead of a generic chatbot.
WatchGPT
A tiny, direct utility experiment: AI on the wrist, tuned for immediacy instead of dashboard sprawl.
Human Actually
Explorations around origin, authenticity, and human-readable proof in an increasingly synthetic web.
Audio Visualizer Suite
Sensory software as craft: frequency, motion, color, and toolmaking folded into a visual system.
AI Usage
A utility lens for model consumption, cost awareness, and daily AI practice where invisible usage becomes visible behavior.
Games and clocks
Small expressive systems that keep the craft muscle awake: motion, timing, interaction, rules, and visual delight.
