A self-taught developer building at the intersection of craft and curiosity.

Corey Miller, founder of Ceymer Studios

I'm Corey Miller — the founder and sole developer of Ceymer Studios, an independent Android software company registered in Pennsylvania. I started building entirely on a tablet using cloud IDEs, taught myself to ship, and now publish real apps used by real people on the Play Store.

My work tends to live where useful meets unexpected: a civic engagement tool that explains your representatives, a tutorial app designed for older adults, a timekeeping app based on the hydrogen line frequency. I ship what I'd want to use.

Outside the studio I work at T-Mobile, and outside of that I co-write a cyberpunk world with my writing partner — but more on that below.

Google UX Design Professional Certificate

Issued by Google · Hosted on Coursera

A seven-course program covering the end-to-end UX design process: empathizing with users, defining problems, ideating, wireframing, prototyping, user research, and iterating on designs based on feedback.

The coursework directly shapes the work below. ADIN's redesigned welcome flow came out of UX-driven analysis of where early users were dropping off; its tutorial structure leans on accessibility patterns from the certificate's research modules. Your Leader's single-input architecture — address in, full civic picture out — is a deliberate exercise in reducing cognitive load for non-technical audiences.

IBM iOS and Android Mobile App Developer Professional Certificate

Issued by IBM · Hosted on Coursera

A multi-course professional certificate covering cross-platform mobile development from the ground up — Swift and UIKit for iOS, Kotlin and Jetpack Compose for Android, React Native, and the full lifecycle of designing, building, testing, and publishing apps to both the App Store and Google Play.

This certificate landed at exactly the right moment: Ceymer Studios is actively expanding into iOS, starting with a port of ADIN to the App Store. The Swift and Xcode fundamentals from this program are going directly into production.

Mel, a character from Hum City
Cyberpunk · Worldbuilding Hum City

An audio drama. A screenplay. A world.

A cyberpunk universe co-created with writing partner John Vogel — original lore, original characters, a serialized audio drama on YouTube (@synthandsyn), and an active screenplay ("Hum City: The Founders' Fall"). Worldbuilding is the long game; software is the short one.

YOU ME

Open to collaboration.

I'm always interested in working on civic tech, indie tooling, AI products with a clear point of view, and ambitious creative projects. If something I've built resonates, let's talk.
