Hello, I'm Sam Corcos, and I build software.

I'm a co-founder and former head of technology at CarDash, where we make automotive repair and maintenance convenient and transparent.

I previously started Sightline Maps with Ben Judge, where we worked with Special Operations Command (SOCOM) to develop mapping technology under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA).

I wrote a book on building distributed, concurrent web services using React and Phoenix titled Learn Phoenix.

I write a lot about technology on Medium. Most of the articles are about programming and some of the latest stuff I've been working on. Here are a few of them:

• Here are all the Git commands I used last week, and what they do.
• How to Keep Your Lambda Functions Warm
• License Plate Recognition in React Native
• How Long Should I Make My API Key? Calculating collision probabilities of hashed values
• Strategies for Migrating a Phoenix App on Heroku
• Where to Hold React Component Data: state, store, static, and this
• Is It "Computer Science" or "Programming"?
• Building CampaignHawk: An Open-Source Election Canvassing App with Meteor and React (Multi-Part Series)
• Building a Tinder Clone with Meteor and React/Cordova

I worked at the oncology center at UC Davis for two summers and co-authored a paper titled Sequence-dependent of apoptosis from green tea polyphenol, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) plus cisplatin (CDDP) in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cells.
