Marco Pontili
I'm a Munich-based Marketing Website Developer with 15 years in tech. I own marketing websites end to end across international markets: full-stack development, SEO/GEO, and CRO.
My Career Journey
I started my career as a frontend developer in Italy, delivering websites and digital platforms for enterprises, media groups, and SMBs. These years built my foundation: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and the ability to turn requirements into working products.
In 2019, I moved to the Netherlands for high-volume SMB marketing website production at Spotzer Digital. Briefs, SEO-ready builds, and review loops across design, SEO, and development; revision cycles down 25%.
From 2021 to 2023, I worked at Nestlé in the CRM and Customer Identity area. I built and standardised frontend patterns for identity and consent flows across 20+ international markets, covering 300+ registration forms and keeping delivery aligned with brand, legal, and compliance standards.
In 2023, I worked as a Technical Project Manager at Lancaster University Leipzig, Germany. I managed teaching delivery for two Computer Science foundation non-degree programs, introduced planning and collaboration standards, and increased student satisfaction from 50% to 90%.
In 2026, in Munich, I was Website Owner for parcelLab. At parcelLab I owned frontend, backend, and integrations on the marketing site, shipping campaign pages and speeding delivery with a custom AI-assisted WordPress Gutenberg workflow.
Through my consultancy I take on select SMB website projects, brief to ship.
I also serve as Web Lead (Volunteer) for ForEveryone Berlin, leading a 4-person web team on their marketing site and open-source design system.

“Marco and I worked closely together for a brief period, but it was enough for me to recognize the depth of his technical knowledge, his relentless commitment to solving problems, and his belief in building scalable systems rather than one-off patches. He is a brilliant teammate who is always ready to jump in and support others. I highly recommend Marco as a creative, diligent, and deeply knowledgeable professional.”
