Rafael Arbulu

More Details

🧑‍💼 Title: Author

Hailing from Brazil as a seasoned journalist with nearly 20 years of storytelling firepower across gaming, tech, entertainment, and business (and a receding hairline to prove it), Rafael brings the editorial strategy of a final boss, finding complex topics and turning them into binge-worthy reads with a flair for ranting and spicy opinions. Fluent in English, Portuguese, and almost flirty in Spanish, he's the story-driven type of gamer who's got a penchant for RPG in all forms, but ocasionally dabs into the dumb fun of action titles and mobile gaming time wasters. When not writing, you’ll find him ranting about boxing, lifting heavy things, or hunting top-shelf tequila and looking for the next jägermeister shot.
