About Me
I'm Corbin Davenport, a tech writer and software developer living in Raleigh, North Carolina. I currently work for SerpApi as a Developer Advocate. I also created the Tech Tales podcast and The Spacebar, in addition to some open-source web apps, browser extensions, and utilities.
My previous jobs were writing and editing at How-To Geek, XDA Developers, PC Gamer, and Android Police. That included news coverage, hundreds of guides and tutorials, editorials, and over 100 product reviews.
I like reading, video games, fixing other people's computers, photography, Star Trek, podcasts, and obscure history topics. You might find me in a round of Overwatch.
