Hi there! I'm Corbin: A Staff Frontend Developer, GitHub Star, Microsoft MVP developer, and teacher. This is my profile page to outline some of the things I'm working on today.
I've created a wide array of forms of content. I'm passionate about communication between developers and want to do my best to enhance the learning experience that other developers experience.
I've written 300K+ words on a wide range of programming topics. Among them are:
- 100+ articles for the blog, Playful Programming
- What is Aggregation in MongoDB?
- Add SMS Verification to React Native App Using Node.js and Express
- Integrating Shoelace with NextJS
- Astro's Next.js and Nuxt.js migration guides
- Various pages for Replay.io's docs and structure
- Much of Clerk's docs
- HERE Map's old React Tutorial
I'm also writing a book trilogy called "The Framework Field Guide", which teaches React, Angular, and Vue all at once! The first book is available now.

On top of a small foray into TikTok, I'm a Twitch affiliate with over 2,000 followers.
I do my best to engage with the community as much as possible, and have continued to host charity Livestream events, where we've even previously garnered $3k for charity!
I also host a Discord community for others on Twitch to be able to talk to me and do pair-progamming in office hours in order to help solve some of their problems.
I've spoken at various conferences about a wide range of programming topics. Among them include:
- "React 19 for the Rest of Us" at React Rally 2024
- "Learn Angular Signals By Writing Your Own" at ngConf 2024
- "How Does Git Work Under The Hood" at GitKon
- "Using ColdFusion APIs in Expo Mobile Apps" at Adobe ColdFusion Developer Week 2021

- "Smooth Sailing with Angular" at SacJS
- "Reeling You In On React Hooks" at SacJS
