Hi, I’m Robert Luo

I’m a frontend-leaning full-stack software engineer in Los Angeles who loves building high-quality software with thoughtful user interfaces. I specialize in modern web development with React and Next.js. When I’m not coding, I like keeping up with the latest tech trends, reading sci-fi, playing guitar, hiking, gaming, and engaging in self-improvement activities. Nice to meet you!
