Romano started his career in the video game industry, with a mixed computer science and film/VFX background and a love for cinematography and user experience.

In the automotive industry, he first worked on the graphics and toolchains pioneered in the Audi Virtual Cockpit in the third-generation Audi TT and helped expand the platform to other VW group cars and brands.

Romano has been promoting the transition to real-time 3D and game-industry inspired processes for the automotive HMI sector and led the development of internal RT3D tools now used at Audi/VW group.
