# About

My name is Juha Jantunen, I am a software engineer and a photography-hobbyist. I am currently based in Helsinki but I have lived in London and Dubai as well.

This website is about technology, writing software and maybe some photography once I have time and inspiration again. I also use this as a test-bench for stuff I want to try.

You can also find me on:

* LinkedIn: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/juhajantunen/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/juhajantunen/)
* Github: [https://github.com/Strobotti](https://github.com/Strobotti)

## This website

As this is also a test-bench these are subject to change, but here's a quick list of technologies used to have this thing online:

* [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) frontend
* [JSON:API](https://jsonapi.org/) -backend, powered with [Go](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(programming_language))
<br style="clear: right" />
* Admin application built on [Vite.js](https://vitejs.dev/) single-page app (SPA)
* Separate API for admin, also using JSON:API and Go
* [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com/) for persistence
* [nginx www-server](https://nginx.org/en/) doing the front-facing grunt-work
* Dockerized and orchestrated with [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/)
* Kept up-to-date using [Watchtower](https://containrrr.dev/watchtower/) pulling the Docker images from registry
* [GitLab](https://about.gitlab.com/) Community Edition hosted on-prem (=in my cellar) for CI/CD
* [Matomo](https://matomo.org/) for analytics

It is very clear to me that this is all overkill for something that I could host on Wordpress.com for a few dollars a month.
