About Me

Jorge Escobar is a technologist, blogger and social media junkie who fell in love with computers from the first time he saw the Texas Instruments TI-994A.

Currently Jorge leads the technical operations and development at OrderGroove, a company that enables online brands to host SaaS-based subscription programs, allowing customers to subscribe to frequently purchased items as well as launch monthly clubs.

Prior to OrderGroove, Jorge was ExpoTV’s Director of Technology, a venture-backed SaaS-based Social Commerce platform and user-generated video product review site, where along with a team of talented developers, built and scaled a custom built media management system that manages a library of hundreds of thousands of user generated videos using open source software. Jorge oversaw everything from core platform architecture and development to video storage, scalability, caching and content delivery for major brands including Procter and Gamble, LG Electronics, Sears.com and Shopping.com.

Before ExpoTV, Jorge served as Web Chief Technology Officer for Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation Interactive (now Univision Radio) running software development, project management and network infrastructure for their Hispanic local and radio station portal, Netmio.com.

Jorge also designed 3D animations and spots working as the promotions director for Telesistema Television Network in Ecuador and developing interactive multimedia applications at the Caracas Museum of Natural History.

When not coding, Jorge likes to fly a Cessna Skyhawk 172R over the Hudson, play the current Call of Duty game on his Xbox360 and always enjoys time with his wife and dog Mac in beautiful Bayridge, Brooklyn.
