Personal Profile

Hello! My name is Adam DeFrancesco. I am a long time “Jack‐of‐all‐trades” with a newly found fondness for Web Development. Currently, I am in the process of a big career change, and making a complete break from fields such as Automotive Repair, Emergency Medical Services, and 911 dispatching, I enrolled in the Web Development Certificate program at UMB Center for Digital Arts. There I obtained a solid base to build an entirely new skill set working towards my new career as a Web Developer.
