Bobby Richter

I'm Bobby Richter. Canadian, based in Annecy, France. I've been building things on the internet for almost 20 years.

In the early days of the interactive web, I created award-winning episodic games and documentaries. At Mozilla, I created tools like that let non-programmers build interactive media and mobile apps. I ran community campaigns and digital literacy workshops in Kenya, India, Indonesia, and Bangladesh, USA, and Canada. At Consumer Reports, I led digital product testing programs used across the organization. At AppCensus, I build privacy analysis tools that help protect millions of mobile users. Along the way, I've made interactive documentaries, built games, produced podcasts, and taught workshops on everything from creative coding to AI tools.

What ties it all together: I make technology work for people who aren't engineers. I think about products, not just code. I understand what you're trying to do, and I know how to get there.

Today, I work with AI tools every single day. I know where they're incredible and where they fall apart. That's exactly why I started this practice: the gap between "AI built me a prototype" and "I have a real, working product" is bigger than most people expect.

I speak English and French. I work locally and remotely. I genuinely enjoy this work, and can’t wait to help you with your projects.
