Doug Read

Software Engineer in Halifax, United Kingdom

I live in West Yorkshire, England. I studied Music Technology at university and did a masters in Computer Composition (didn't like it though). After uni I started working for Connected-UK.com knowing nothing about computers. Within 2 years I was the lead programmer on a startup-project within the company called my Booking Wizard and then became the lead technician in the company.

Since leaving Connected-UK.com in October 2012 I became a freelancer but within 2 months was tempted away to join the up and coming company The Marketing Lab based in Hebden Bridge.

In March 2014 I left to join Formisimo in Manchester of which I am now CTO

I do Kung Fu to stay fit, sail for enjoyment and read & travel for enlightenment
