I'm Corey Hobbs, a platform product manager shaping APIs, SDKs, billing systems, auth surfaces, and developer ecosystems. This page reads like documentation because that's where I do some of my best work: at the seam between systems, products, and the humans trying to integrate with both.
The throughline is consistent: developer-facing products, platform surfaces, and systems that need to feel coherent from both the product side and the integration side.
Control plane product leadership across billing, payments infrastructure, auth proxy, RBAC, and API surfaces.
Led AI enhanced services, Daily Prebuilt API, and media services spanning streaming, recording, and developer tooling.
Owned the developer ecosystem including Zoom Apps, immersive experiences, and products built directly by Zoom.
Owned Creative Cloud Marketplace and extensibility strategy for more than 30 Adobe products.
Taught product management while translating platform and product thinking into practice for new PMs.
Led GitHub Marketplace and APIs, and built out the integration partner program for the platform.
Worked directly with partners on customer support systems, firmware validation, and connected-device problem solving.
Founding engineer on a product reducing food waste through software.
Designed storage and systems for a large solar infrastructure project, grounding later product work in real systems constraints.
These aren't side quests. They help explain the taste, narrative judgment, and production instincts that shape how I build technical products.
Platform work can get sterile. These projects show the opposite pressure in the system: a bias for craft, communication, and making technical artifacts feel authored.

I like products that sit where systems meet people. The engineering background is part of why platform work fits: it keeps the abstractions honest.
