Howdy! I'm Cassidy Frier, a passionate software developer with a Texan heart and a global perspective. I embarked on my journey into the world of technology at Texas A&M University's College of Engineering, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in computer science in August 2022. Straight out of the Lone Star State, I ventured across the Atlantic to Heidelberg, Germany, where I now call home and work full time in the dynamic realm of software development. My commitment to crafting innovative solutions and my love for turning lines of code into meaningful applications drive my professional endeavors. Here, you'll find insights into my educational background and professional experience and perhaps a touch of Texan warmth blended with the efficiency of German precision.
