A little about me…

Hey there! My name is Frank Corso and it is a pleasure to meet you. I am a full-stack software developer, indie software founder, and data scientist. I am currently a Technical Lead at Cayuse. Previously, I was the Head of Engineering at Podchaser (acquired by Acast in 2022), Founder of SiteAlert (acquired in 2021), and Founder of Quiz And Survey Master (acquired in 2019).

I am always looking for new things to learn which has led me to have acquired certifications in AWS, Scrum, and Terraform as well as completed the "Intro to Machine Learning" and "Deep Learning" nanodegrees from Udacity.

Occasionally, I create datasets as part of my random data projects or as part of exploration.
