Biography/History:

Negro Frankie Costa: Frankie Negro is a technology wanderer. He began in IT as a FoxPro / dBase developer in 1994. Quite a lot has happened: Heroic days learning Microsoft Office Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and creating macros with Microsoft Excel 5. 0, transitioning to Visual Basic 3. 0 and ending developer career at Visual Basic 6. 0 when he was invited to begin as SysAdmin in 1997. A lot more water under the bridge and the on-premises stint ended in 2018 with an invitation to join AWS as a Cloud Support Engineer. Since then, it all has been hard work while having fun and making history. He came full circle joining AWS Outposts team to flex his on-premises muscles once again. When he is not working for AWS, he is working accompanied by music.
