Julia Geist is an award-winning software engineer with a decade of experience building production systems used by millions and a persistent focus on social impact. Currently a researcher and engineer at the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, she pairs product development with archival research and has built tools that support equitable access to information. Her past roles include contributions at Adobe and PlanGrid, creating developer-facing features and shipping iOS products, and she taught over 270,000 students mobile development while reaching 55,000 readers through her technical writing. Julia helped build Farmsquare in collaboration with the Obama White House to connect families on EBT/SNAP/WIC with fresh food, an example of her ability to turn civic needs into functional software. She combines hands-on engineering—teaching herself Node.js and Python as needed—with public-facing advocacy, speaking at the New York Stock Exchange and publishing for freeCodeCamp and Hacker Noon. Based in New York, she bridges research, product, and education to deliver practical, widely used software that advances access and equity.
