Draw & Learn to Talk with Bob

iPhone & iPad · Education · Ages 5 and under · Free · No ads · Works offline

Designed, built, tested, published and marketed end to end: Swift drawing engine, AI-generated speech in 18 languages, an automated App Store release pipeline, and a Kids-category privacy review passed first time on the evidence.

2D platform game

A complete platformer: gravity and jump physics, enemy patrol AI, collision detection, moving platforms, a boss chase, sound and scoring. Built with factory-style object creation to keep the code clean.

Interactive data visualisations

Seven interactive charts on real datasets, three designed from scratch, including an animated pie chart of ONS population data and a waffle chart of survey results. Tooltips, easing and play/pause controls.

How it works

No jargon. No surprises on the invoice.

01

A free chat

Tell me what is slow, broken or missing. Thirty minutes by phone, video or over coffee in Cambridge. No obligation.

02

A fixed quote

You get a written plan with a price and a timeline before anything starts. If the scope changes, the quote changes first, not the bill.

03

Build, fix, support

Regular updates in plain English while the work happens, a proper handover at the end, and ongoing support if you want it.

About

Hi, I'm Roberto.

I run Cambyte from Cambridge. I'm an independent developer with an app on the App Store, a Computer Science student at the University of London, and someone who has spent over ten years in public-sector roles explaining complicated things to people who just needed them sorted. That is the job here too: understand the problem, fix it properly, explain it clearly.

I use AI tools every day to build and ship software faster, and I run my own local AI hardware, so when I recommend something it is because I have used it, not because it is fashionable.

  • BSc Computer Science, University of London (Goldsmiths), specialising in Machine Learning & AI
  • Google IT Support Professional Certificate and Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate
  • Swift, Kotlin, Python, JavaScript, SQL; macOS, Windows and Linux; years of hands-on Mac and PC repair
  • Based in Cambridge, UK. Full right to work, driving licence, own car.

Contact

One email is enough. You will get a reply from me, usually the same day, with a time for a free chat.
