Hi!

I'm Julie.

My LinkedIn and Stack Overflow Careers profiles will lead you to believe I have a lot of experience working in web-based technologies, and it's true! I build things, and I build teams, and I build teams who build things (the last one is my favorite). I am currently the Director of the Product Management and Strategy & Operations Community of Practice at the United States Digital Service, helping awesome people make awesome things for everyone.

Some things I like, support, and believe people should think more about:

Technically Speaking, a newsletter that delivers CFPs, speaking tips, and inspirational videos, provided by the lovely and talented @chiuki and @catehstn
Fund Club, a monthly commitment to fund tech projects by and for marginalized people
Mastering the Urgent/Important Matrix
Not sucking when interviewing candidates for open positions

If you want to talk about stuff like the above or related issues, you can reach me via LinkedIn or @jcmeloni.

Oh right! I also write books.
Listed below are my most recent, but there are more.

I took this photo of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. I like the outdoors as much as I like technology (and maybe a little bit more).

I try to be helpful—so can you!

Find a StackExchange site that appeals to you, and jump in.

If there's anything interesting on this site it's probably in the blog.
