Joel Auterson
Hello! My name's Joel and I'm a software developer. No, not that one.
I run a tiny indie game studio called Bearwaves. I'm also a published poet.
I run a spoken word night called Boomerang Club, am part of the Southbank New Poets Collective for 2021/22 and am a former Barbican Young Poet. I work in carbon emission reduction at a company called Emitwise.
