Hi, I'm Justin!
I make simple, useful software.

PROJECTS

LATELY

On a hiatus of sorts.
Enjoying Florida's autumn weather, living life, and occasionally tending to my nuggets.

Tired of hearing about software? Understandable. Take refuge in /⁠notebook-love, /⁠enjoyables, or some /⁠nuggets. Everything else, unfortunately, is about computers. Sorry about that.

Here's a bit more about me: I look like this.png, sort of. I love soccer, tennis, basketball, ping pong, barefoot running, squatting, Brussels sprouts, math tutoring, black Ticonderogas, cats, Florida, and hammocks. I also love how the opinions shared here are my own and do not reflect the views of my employer.

I'm reading more books and doodling more doodles. I've already wasted too much life on screens. Don't make the same mistake -- remember to touch grass today! But not until you're finished looking around here. Consider listening to one of my favorite albums while you browse, too. That's always fun.
