My name is Luis Larco and I am from Lima, Perú, currently living in San Francisco, California, USA. I’m a senior software engineer at X, the moonshot factory, working in the Project Taara team.

I enjoy road biking, mountain biking, snowboarding, hiking, backpacking, camping, road tripping, and playing guitar and bass.
