Software developer, cybersecurity tech specialist, and masters cs student.

I'm Xavier Vargas, a software developer studying computer science at the New Jersey Institute of Technology.

After hours, I'm a freelance developer working on projects ranging anywhere from custom storefronts to web applications, while currently obtaining my masters degree in Computer Science from NJIT Ying Wu College of Computing.
