About Me - Frank Corso

Hey there! I’m Frank Corso, an indie software founder who dabbles in data science, game development, and biology.

The Beginning

My journey in technology began in 2009 when I created a humble Xbox 360 game called “A Game of Hockey” – basically a clone of Pong but with 4 paddles. I released it in the Xbox Live Indie Games program that was relatively new at the time. Despite its simplicity (and bugs!), this little experiment ignited my passion for creating software.

I recently recreated this game and uploaded it to itch.io if you want to play it yourself to see how awful it was 😅.

The Journey

Since then, I’ve founded multiple successful products, led engineering teams, and developed a deep expertise in transforming complex data into actionable insights.

Currently, I serve as a Technical Lead at Cayuse, where I’m focused on the Inventions and Agreements products. Previously, as Head of Engineering at Podchaser (acquired 2022), I led a team of 12 engineers and data scientists, building systems that handled hundreds of millions of podcast episodes.

My entrepreneurial path includes founding SiteAlert, which grew to serve 10,000+ websites before being acquired in 2021, and Quiz And Survey Master, which reached 20,000+ websites before its acquisition in 2019.

Outside of Work

When I’m not analyzing data or building software, I enjoy working on hobby projects like my small video games at Whivio Studios. I’m constantly learning and exploring new technologies, which keeps me energized and current in a rapidly evolving field.

I believe in continuous learning, recently completing both my Associate’s degree, which I focused on biotechnology foundational classes, and Udacity’s Deep Learning Nanodegree. I’ve also earned AWS and Terraform certifications that reflect my commitment to cloud architecture and infrastructure management. This interdisciplinary approach enriches my data work with perspectives from multiple domains.

I also write regularly on my technical blog, sharing insights about data engineering, data visualization, and software development.
