JNet is the intranet site of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts (AO). It provides a wide range of legislative, administrative, legal, financial, program and information technology services to the federal courts. I am currently the primary IT specialist/web developer for the Department of Technology Services in the AO, and I am responsible for the IT section of JNet.

I work closely within a communications team to ensure the site develops in step with current initiatives and communication goals. I also work closely with the Office of Public Affairs to ensure our IT content aligns with the branding and communication vision of the entire AO.
