My name is Joe Vargas. I am professional I.T. Desktop Support Specialist now seeking to pivot into the software development industry. I started my software development journey in 2015 by self-teaching myself Swift language, commonly used for iOS devices. Today, I am well versed in most iOS SDKs, 3rd party libraries (i.e. Cocoa Pods) and cloud backend services (i.e. Google Firestore). My favorite libraries to work with in iOS are CoreLocation and URLSession. I enjoy the challenge of getting both these libraries to work together to retrieve data from an API that`s relevant to the user`s GPS location. Some of my favorite APIs to work with are weather based since I am a weather geek . On my free time, I enjoy reading and doing practical software development exercises that improve my skill set. In addition, I try to stay current with all the latest mobile development technologies to stay relevant with today`s market. ©
