About me

Adam Rowan standing by Lake Geneva with the Jet d'Eau fountain behind him — Adam Rowan · Lake Geneva

I'm Adam Rowan, a web developer based in Dublin. I've also worked in customer support and as an instructional designer.

I build websites and web apps, mostly with WordPress, PHP, JavaScript and Python. I also design e-learning courses and write technical content, and I've handled customer support by email, phone and online.

I have an MA in Technical Communication and E-Learning from the University of Limerick, and I trained as a full-stack developer at Le Wagon in Paris. I speak English and French.

My full work history is on my CV page.
