I'm Justin or J.R. and lifelong tinkerer. I like making all sorts of things, maybe software the most, but also art, music, woodworking, textiles and fabrics, toys, games...

I was working at Amazon for 9 years until the company started getting weird in 2023 with policy changes and mandates and stuff. Currently I'm working on contract at Okta and making Java and Rust SDKs for OpenFGA. Not sure what I'll be doing long-term quite yet
