For people who won’t play
Jorge Romero Romanis is a full-stack software engineer based in México (React, TypeScript, Next.js). He builds for millions, then goes and builds something fun.
Every stop on the board, in one scroll.
Built for millions, then something fun.
Jorge was technical co-lead of PayPal Fastlane’s profile-management portal, from an empty repo to 1.5M users across 7 countries. At Microsoft he drove front-end UX on Bing’s Image Inspiration Feed, where daily active users grew 400% in 9 months.
The view from a hundred metres up.
Jorge shoots aerial video with a drone, for real clients and for himself. His reel includes Día de Muertos celebrations seen from above and aerial footage of houses, next to travel videos from the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona and the Alhambra in Granada.
A Spurs fan in México, for his sins.
Jorge supports Tottenham Hotspur from México, “for my sins”, in his own words. There’s a whole route on this site about it, and it’s the start of a small treasure hunt.
Look everywhere at once.
Jorge shoots 360° photos and builds virtual tours, including for real clients through recorrido360.mx. His gallery has panoramas from Granada and Cádiz you can drag around, and he built the 360° tour engine himself.
One more round?
Jorge loves board games (Downforce, Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game, Fire Tower and Hellapagos are his favourites), so this page is one. He also builds small games for the browser: a wheel of fortune and a jigsaw puzzle live in his tools.
Lead singer of Eloise.
Jorge is the lead singer of Eloise, and the band has songs on Spotify. At home, his music corner is a calm room, a sofa and great speakers, and he keeps practising guitar and singing with two apps he built that listen to him and grade him.
Small batches, big opinions.
Jorge picked up a taste for craft beer while living in Seattle, a city full of breweries. Back in Mexico he kept exploring, and he hasn’t stopped.
Trace anything onto anything.
Jorge built artoverlay.com, a free browser tool that overlays a reference image on your phone’s camera so you can trace designs onto real surfaces: murals, stencils, cakes, embroidery. It corrects perspective, removes backgrounds and processes everything locally.
Stop sending twenty things. Send one album link.
MyAlbumLink bundles photos, videos, 360° tours and PDFs into one shareable link, for real estate, photographers and events. Jorge built and runs it solo: auto-compressed uploads, watermarking, passcodes, per-album analytics and tiered Stripe subscriptions.
Your first real painting, step by step.
e.marts runs guided painting workshops and private events in Cuernavaca, Metepec and CDMX, where first-timers finish a real painting step by step on a pre-sketched design. It’s Jorge’s wife Eli’s business, and he designed and built the site, which sells the workshops and events and hands the booking to WhatsApp.
Something’s always on the stove.
Jorge is just getting started in the kitchen, and he’s enjoying every bit of it: Mexican classics on one side, Asian comfort food on the other.
