According to Robert Heinlein, "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."
I can map a public transit system, administer an orchestra, write software regression tests, build geospatial analysis tools, edit novels, identify birds, fix dry rot, make cupcakes that illustrate Plato's Republic, spout off random facts about intellectual history, expound upon the stupidity of auto-flush toilets, tap dance passably, and stay upright on rollerblades.
I'm passionate about making cities more livable, sustainable, efficient, and enjoyable by developing better software and mapping tools and data-driven urban and transportation planning and management methodologies. Right now, I'm doing this as a product engineer on Esri's ArcGIS Pro Network Analyst development team.
But I'm passionate about a lot of other things, too. Check out my list of current projects and follow the links for more details.
My name is Melinda Morang, and I am not an insect. I am a creative generalist.

I can do a little bit of everything, I learn new things quickly, and I'm good at making things happen.
But I'm passionate about a lot of other things, too. Check out my list of current projects and follow the links for more details.
