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 a Senior Engineering Manager at Improbable, a company that believes the way to transform the complex, inefficient, and insecure world is through the application of massive simulations of reality and the generation of virtual worlds to deliver previously unachievable foresight and enable a more prosperous and secure planet—an optimized world. Not gonna lie...it's pretty cool.

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.
