Hi!

I'm Julie.

I build things, and I build teams, and I build teams who build things (the last one is my favorite). I am currently Head of Engineering and Applied Science in the Washington DC office of Improbable. As part of our Defense business, we work to enable transformative synthetic environments that bring multi-domain mission planning and collective training together across strategic, operational, and tactical levels. We'd like countries to avoid war.

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

• The Human Utility, which helps low-income families, seniors, and single parents in Detroit and Baltimore pay their water bills
• Plato, a mentoring platform helping engineering and product leaders develop soft skills and build better teams (I'm a mentor, and you can be too!)
• 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, but beware I'm pretty bad at responding.
