I’m Robert Luo. I live in Los Angeles, where I help make the future of the web beautiful.

I’ve been obsessed with computers for as long as I can remember. When I was 4, I helped my uncle install Red Alert 2. My big job was typing the product key from the CD case, one letter at a time, like I was unlocking some secret code. Watching that game boot up was the moment I realized computers could do way more than I understood, and I wanted to learn how it all worked.

When I was 10, Myspace blew my mind. I found out you could tweak your profile with HTML and CSS to make it look completely different, and I fell down the rabbit hole. I spent hours copying little snippets of code, breaking things, fixing them, and eventually building custom layouts for myself and my friends. That was my first real taste of programming. Later I took computer science classes in high school and ended up getting a CS degree.

I also grew up playing a lot of games: Warcraft III, RuneScape, MapleStory, League of Legends. Those games taught me how to min-max in real life too. I like squeezing out as much value and quality as possible while still staying flexible and able to adapt. That’s how I approach learning and building things now: ship side projects quickly, iterate, improve.

I’m a senior full-stack engineer with 7+ years of experience building and shipping web applications. I work with React, Next.js, and TypeScript across federal healthcare applications and AI-enabled products. I’m open to full-time engineering roles and consulting projects.

I’m still basically doing what 10-year-old me was doing on Myspace: tweaking, experimenting, and trying to make something on a screen feel a little more alive.
