Hello, I'm Justinas
I built Jewel Studio, a live quoting platform for jewellers, with Java, Spring Boot, Angular and PostgreSQL. I also work in React, Node.js and MongoDB. Looking for my first junior developer role, Birmingham or remote.
Junior Full Stack Developer · Birmingham, UK
I spent years in warehouse operations: picking, packing, despatch, stock takes, scanners all day. Then I did a 450-hour Java bootcamp and started building. I have a Master's in Philosophy too, but that's a different story.
My main stack is Java, Spring Boot, Angular and PostgreSQL. I also build with React, Node.js, Express, MongoDB and TypeScript (this site is Next.js). Jewel Studio is the project where I did everything myself: database, API, PDFs, emails, trial system, deployment.
I'm looking for a junior full-stack role on a team that ships real software.
I go hiking and swimming, and I like trips out into nature.
It keeps me energised and balanced.
What I work with.
One product I built from scratch, one app I audited and fixed.
My own product, built solo
Quoting bespoke jewellery means juggling metal prices, stones, labour and margin. Jewel Studio does the sums and produces two PDFs: one for the client with the price, one for the jeweller with the margin. Emails the quote in one click. Live, with a 14-day trial and a public calculator.
Open-source template, audited and fixed
A MERN coffee shop with cart, orders, PayPal (sandbox) and an admin panel. I started from an open-source template, then audited it: signup stored passwords unhashed, any logged-in user could read anyone's orders, admin pages were open to everyone, and uploads needed no login. I fixed all four and deployed it.
