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
- The Human Utility, which helps low-income families, seniors, and single parents in Detroit and Baltimore pay their water bills
- Fund Club, a monthly commitment to fund tech projects by and for marginalized people
- Trying not to suck 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.
Most recently: Sams Teach Yourself PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript All-in-One, but I wrote a bunch more over the years.

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