UPDATE: Jorge no longer works for Etsy. Keep in touch, Jorge. We love you!

Etsy has had quite a growth spurt in the past year, and we have the awkward pictures to prove it. We are posting a series of About Us pieces to help you get to know the Etsy admin (and since many of us work remotely, for the admin to get to know each other!). You've seen the admin badge, and maybe you're a bit curious about the person behind it! For more on Etsy's mission and about the company, please see our About page (the link is in the little blue footer of every Etsy page).

UPDATE: Jorge has his ear pierced 9 times.

Jorge aka jorgelo is one of the kinder/gentler engineers at Etsy.  He's a mellow fellow (except for his love of extreme sports! Hint: search "Xterra Rollover" on Youtube.) and has a really adorable dog named Clementine who he sometimes brings to the Etsy Labs. It's also rumored that this tender-hearted guy is a vegan as well as a self-professed "crazy cat lady." (He owns five!) How could you not love this man we know as Jorge?


Since he's one of the engineers who we get to see on a regular basis (he doesn't work from home), this means we get to see his ninja skills in real life!  Speaking of ninja skills...Sledding while practicing archery while wearing shorts in the dead of winter??? This man is crazy talented.


Tiny Venezuelan!
