About me
Hello there, my name is Kevin Read and I'm a freelance software developer and Security consultant currently residing in Germany.
I've been involved with software development and security since the mid-90s and have been working in the IT industry since 1998. I've founded two companies and have been working as freelance and developer and consultant since 2014. As a native German and English speaker I'm interested in doing projects all over the world. I've also published a fair amount, mostly in German.
