Matt Pocock

Matt Pocock is a TypeScript specialist with around 47,000 followers on GitHub, best known for his Total TypeScript course and previous stints at Vercel and Stately. The TDD skill listed on this platform is part of his broader "skills" repository, subtitled "Skills for Real Engineers," teaching an AI agent test-driven development practices.

Pocock also maintains several other widely used projects: Sandcastle orchestrates sandboxed coding agents in TypeScript, the Dictionary of AI Coding explains common terminology around AI-assisted software development, and ts-reset improves typical weak spots in built-in JavaScript APIs within TypeScript's type system.

His focus consistently centers on TypeScript education and making advanced development practices — from strict typing to test-driven development — usable by AI-driven coding agents as well, rather than limiting them to human developers.
