I'm interested in helping teams work more efficiently together by making tedious or intimidating processes enjoyable — whether it's developer tooling, collaboration platforms, or productivity suites.
Also tooling for moderation/safety, communities, and new technologies.

As Design Lead and PM for Design Tools at FB, I identified product opportunities, defined roadmaps, developed features and infrastructure, mentored designers and engineers, and built relationships with our community of 600+ designers — all while working with a distributed team.pic.twitter.com/Ftqp46N45f

Below are a couple examples of initiatives I drove with real impact on the day-to-day work of my coworkers. To be clear, NONE of these (save for JULIUSBOT) were solo-efforts. They are all real thanks to the amazing team I got the pleasure to work with.

Developed suite of plugins to augment Sketch and macOS with design systems from all of Facebook's products, saving and estimated 10+ hours per week per designer. All installed via a menu bar app called Design Pack.

Pivoted an abandoned 'internal Dribbble' into a robust collaboration tool, Pixelcloud, that integrated design with engineer and PM workflows, that can grow into a knowledge repository of product and design decisions made by all teams.

I 'trascendenced' myself into FB's internal workplace tool by making a bot that triaged common issues and bug reports, shaving hours off total support response time.
It still lives today, leaving many new employees wondering: who is JuliusBot?

Helped launch Origami Studio publicly, designed various features, maintained its community and created education materials.
I also helped define the strategy of Origami's future as a cornerstone of FB design tooling, none of which I can show.

Before that, I spent several years building experimental platforms for community building.
They are all dead today, but I learned a lot about what it takes to build communities, like dedicated moderators, nuanced privacy controls, and time.Prikaži ovu nit -

I also worked briefly on VR apps at FB, and lived a former life as an industrial designer. One of my proudest achievements is a spatula that has 5-star on Amazon.
