Tom Colello — Long Island, NY

Developer, designer,
and audio engineer.

I work with artists, labels, and small teams — building their web apps, designing their vinyl packaging, and engineering their records. Often for the same people, on the same project.

About

I started writing code because I kept needing tools that didn't exist — so I learned to build them.

Before that, I spent years in the music industry — most notably as Associate Director of US Physical Supply Chain Operations at The Orchard (Sony Music), managing manufacturing, client-supplied products, and whatever else landed on my desk. Along the way I toured internationally as a musician, ran a record label (Brighter Days Records), and engineered records out of my own studio.

I've tracked, mixed, and mastered for indie artists, designed and produced vinyl packaging — including the 20th-anniversary RSD edition of the From Dusk Till Dawn soundtrack — and built the web platforms to sell and distribute all of it. That mix of creative and technical is the whole point: I can talk to the artist and ship the code.
