Hi, I’m Corey Byrum.

I make apps and help companies turn ideas into products and deliverables.

Currently at Archer Aviation 10 yrs shipping TS / React / Swift / Python

Timeline

Experience

I'm a product-minded software engineer who loves building things that make a real impact. Over the last ten years I've worked across web, backend, and native iOS at PlayStation, CrossFit, Stanford Health Care, and now Archer Aviation, and I've been lucky to work on some genuinely cool things along the way. Remote since 2018.

Projects

A few things I've built that I'm glad to talk through in detail.

Outer Peak Software

Kura

A personal time capsule for the internet you collect. Saved things become a library you can browse as a Netflix-style shelf, a classic list, or a timeline, and keep private, share with a few people, or open to everyone. Deep theming lets each person shape the look of their own space, closer to MySpace than to a feed. In beta, and the project I'm proudest of.

IN BETA
Archer Aviation

Archer Command

Planning and scheduling for a regulated airline. Crews, aircraft, and flight test campaigns share one schedule, surfaced as month, week, and day calendars. Most of the difficulty sits in the rules underneath and in making them legible: every assignment is a block you can hover, open, and act on without leaving the view.

Since 2025
Archer Aviation

Archer Booking

A prototype for booking an eVTOL flight. Passengers browse vertiports and the routes running between them, reserve ahead of arrival, and move through a check-in flow that captures what air taxi operations actually depend on, including passenger weight and baggage. Built in SwiftUI and demoed to stakeholders in Abu Dhabi. Deliberately scoped as a proof of concept: no payments, and never published to the App Store.

PROTOTYPE
CrossFit, LLC

CrossFit Map

The gym finder on crossfit.com. Built with Mapbox and React, still running today.

LIVE
PlayStation

DesignKit

PlayStation's internal design system. I built and maintained it in Next.js.
