## About

- Justus has sunk thousands of hours into code, some of it lonely and painful, and some of it the happiest flow he can remember.
- He cares about identity in small choices: names, rhythm, and how a page feels when someone moves through it.
- He is still learning where craft ends and clarity begins, for himself and for whoever ends up using what he builds.

## Current Stack

- Next.js + TypeScript + Tailwind
- Cloudflare Workers, edge-first systems

## Interests

- Learning anything and everything about DeFi
- Playing card games with friends
- Watching House MD
- Coming up with startup ideas to make millions, then not having enough time to build all of them
