After five years of working at T-Mobile, Deangelo developed a pretty thorough understanding of how smart phones function. He became interested in repairing and maintaining the devices, and decided to strike out on his own. He earned a certification as a Microsoft technician and opened Droid Pros Orlando, where he fixes up mobile devices of all sizes, shapes, and manufactures. He genuinely enjoys his work, especially puzzling out the intricate inner workings of the devices and finding out where they keep their tiny record collections of ring tones. "As new phones come out, I like the challenge of breaking down and repairing [one]," he says. "My knowledge of smartphone repairs makes it easier each time."
