Hi, I'm Joe. A software developer currently working at Scott Logic. Outside of work I spend far too much time thinking about orienteerings.

I started orienteering through school in 2013 and went to my first major event in 2015. Since then I've been to almost every major event and have accumulated a nice collection of medals including 6 individual British titles across all four disciplines.

Since the end of my junior years I've focused less on performance and on the behind the scenes of mapping, planning & organising. I'm currently the coordinator for the UK Elite Orienteering League and a member of Masterplan Adventure.

I've made 7 maps, 6 sprint & 1 indoor. These range from small maps for local events up to WRE maps (somehow this was my first one?). I'm yet to make any forest maps, but I've not yet found the time to get started down this path.

Apart from orienteering, I'm a graduate software developer currently working at Scott Logic. My Github portfolio looks remarkably bare, which is mostly because my current side project, a combination mapping & planning software, has been in the works for several years and not progressing much because I keep on deciding to rewrite it from scratch.

This website is for me to write down my thoughts on various topics to hopefully improve orienteering. It's also so I can try and compete with the lovely Alasdair Pedley.
