JuiceBuilds

Shipping side projects, one squeeze at a time.

About

Hey, I'm Jake. I build side projects that scratch my own itches — sports analytics, cycling and running tools, social apps, and the occasional casino night for friends. JuiceBuilds is where they all live.

Most of these are built with Next.js, TypeScript, and a Python or Node backend when one's needed. Always squeezing something new.
