About
Hi! I’m Richard Rauser, a London-based internet geek and technology junkie. I’m one of the cofounders of a company called Procinity that develops location and proximity-aware applications for the web and mobile devices. I also develop iPhone and Facebook apps on a freelance basis for others under the Raaza banner.
I’m originally from Vancouver, Canada and lived there until graduating from high school in 1998. I spent a large part of my winters skiing and snowboarding at Whistler mountain and summers were spent in Kelowna on the Okanagan Lake, with the Ogopogo nibbling at my toes.
I subsequently spent 1998 - 2003 in Montreal attending McGill University, where I studied Computer Science, Music Technology and Economics. I live in the Plateau and and ate lots of smoked meat and bagels. I also consumed my fair share of the rather disgusting Molson Hi Dry.
I moved to London, England in 2003 and have lived here ever since. I only planned on staying 2 years, and now it looks like I’m going to naturalise in August 2010. I live in London’s East End and think it’s an amazing place, full of off-beat culture and exciting happenings. When I first moved here I worked for SQS for nearly 5 years on various IT consulting engagements around the UK before starting out with Procinity in 2008.
