## 👋 Hey, I'm Robert DeLuca!
> 🛠️ Currently building **[Vizzly](https://vizzly.dev)** — Visual testing. Bridge the designer-developer gap with visual precision. Real-time collaboration on actual implementations.
I'm a software engineer focused on crafting delightful user experiences across the web, native apps,
and APIs. My expertise is in front-end development, accessibility, and testing automation, with deep
dives into Ember.js, React.js, and emerging tech like LLMs.
