Top SchoolIngo Richter is a seasoned Sr. Computer Scientist based in San Francisco with over 20 years of agile software experience and a 16-year track record at Adobe delivering cross-platform products from Windows and macOS to iOS. He builds and mentors teams that ship customer-focused features and has repeatedly improved product quality and stability—once reducing crashes by an order of magnitude for a mobile SDK. His work spans full-stack engineering, native OS integrations, CI/CD automation, analytics platforms, and UX-focused web projects, and he contributes to notable open-source efforts such as the Jenkins Build Pipeline Plugin and the Brackets application shell. Currently he’s driving Share for Review workflows and a unified analytics solution at Adobe, blending product thinking with implementation detail. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic design choices—he’s as comfortable adding a Handlebars-powered build card as he is designing cross-platform authentication. Outside of work he enjoys “doing dangerous things” with code, reflecting a curiosity-driven, hands-on approach to engineering.
