Romulo Alves

My name is pronounced like "Roh-mool-oh"

Welcome to my online space!

You can also find me on X.

Born, raised and living in Sapiranga, RS, Brazil.

I learned HTML on GeoCities when I was 9 and built my first freelance website (for a local shoe boutique) at 15.

I have a scientist's mindset and love experimenting with things to form my own opinions, because someone else’s opinion might be useful but not true (an idea from an author I love, Derek Sivers).

When I wanted to learn more about marketing in 2023, I hired a coach and freelanced as an X (Twitter) Ghostwriter. Later that year, I wrote email sequences for a Canadian e-commerce brand.

Work

I'm open to work. LinkedIn

My last job was as a Full Stack JavaScript Engineer at PayPal, from 2021 to June 2026. Then, they fired me.
