Resume · 2026

Gianni Arone

Director of Digital Operations · AI Product Builder · Sr. Motion Designer

Twenty years in digital media as a senior motion designer, editor and social lead: Warner Music Group, then seven years at Fullscreen animating and cutting daily social for Disney, Marvel, Sony and AMC, with a Webby, a Bronze Clio, two Shorty Awards and over a billion GIPHY views along the way. For the last two years I’ve built with AI every day, with Claude and ChatGPT as my engineering team, shipping twelve sites and products end to end: brand, prompts, code, APIs, database and deploy. Now Director of Digital Operations at Evolution24 Properties.

AI EngineeringClaude and ChatGPT are my engineering team

Build

Sites, apps and APIs engineered with Claude Code and ChatGPT: architecture, code, review, debugging and deploy across React / Next.js, Node, Rust and Postgres.

Prompt

Prompt design for production features and agent workflows: system prompts, structured output, multi-step agents, and a human signing off before anything ships.

LLM features in production

Scrawl: Claude drafts a full alphabet from three hand-drawn letters, and a foundry bot designs three new alphabets every day for review. Bastion: plain-language, LLM-written explanations of security events.

On-device AI

MediaPipe segmentation running live on the GPU in Faraday (browser) and Glitch Pixel Studio (Android): faces and bodies masked in real time, with zero cloud.

APIs & integrations

Anthropic and OpenAI APIs; REST endpoints and webhooks for Shippo, Google Play Billing, Microsoft Sentinel, Google Workspace and Vimeo; the cbuy partner API; short-lived HMAC credentials.

Workflows & automation

Property-site enquiries routed into the right Google Workspace inbox and a live lead sheet; sync jobs that keep this site current; music videos cut by code from beat grids and word-timed lyrics.
