The Solo Develop Team
Tulio Solorzano
Member Manager - Designer, Developer
I’m Tulio Solorzano, an Engineering Manager, a web developer, UX designer, and digital strategist with over 15 years of experience crafting digital solutions. As the Founder & Member Manager of Solo Develop, I lead a consultancy dedicated to helping businesses create scalable, user-friendly experiences. My journey has taken me through leadership roles at Virgin Mobile USA, Ebates, and Rakuten Rewards, where I played a pivotal role in front-end engineering, UI development, and major rebranding efforts.
My Journey
Over 20 years ago, I earned a bachelor's degree in Design and Visualization, but opportunities were scarce due to my lack of experience. Determined to build my career, I became a self-employed consultant, teaching myself web design and development. This led to my first major role at Virgin Mobile USA, where I managed content deployment and optimized web performance.
From there, I joined Ebates as a Senior Web Developer and later became Web Development Manager, where I led the front-end team through the $1 billion acquisition by Rakuten. At Rakuten Rewards, I advanced to Squad Lead & Front-End Engineer IC, helping transition the company to a modern React/Next.js stack and driving UI/UX improvements.
After Rakuten, I returned to my entrepreneurial roots, building Solo Develop to provide businesses with digital strategy, web development, and branding expertise. While leading my consultancy, I remain open to full-time opportunities, whether as an individual contributor or through Solo Develop, in accordance with California regulations.
My Approach & Philosophy
I believe in blending technical excellence with user-centered design. My leadership style is rooted in adaptability, collaboration, and efficiency. Whether working independently, leading a team, or advising businesses, I strive to create intuitive, high-performance digital experiences.
Through Solo Develop, I continue to push the boundaries of web development, helping businesses navigate the ever-evolving digital landscape. If you’re looking to collaborate, feel free to connect!
