Welcome to my website! I'm Justin, general nerd and lifelong learner. This is my Next.js website I made to show stuff like my projects, favourite albums, recipes, stuff like that. I'm clearly still working on this website, but in the meantime feel free to have a look around!

This website was made using Next.js and uses MongoDB for the recipes database. When writing it, I've tried to keep to a few guiding principles: aim for simplicity, efficiency, intentionality, write as much of the code myself that I can, and understand what (almost) every line of code does. For instance, I chose Next.js because it generally keeps the number of components to a minimum, has good performance, and works well for the website I've built; I chose MongoDB because it being document-based worked best for the shape of the recipe data, among other things. Of course, these considerations and values should (ideally) be present in every project, but I sought to maximize them here since my total control over the website allows me to prioritize it.
