Over the last couple years, I’ve seenmoreandmorepeople in technology trying to make government work better. They’re idealists who are also making a large impact. These arepeople that I respect–some of them worked to fixhealthcare.gov, for example. From talking to many of them, I can tell you that their energy is contagious and they’re trying to improve things inall kinds of ways.
I want to see whether I can help too. So for the next few months, I’ll be taking a leave from Google. I’m joining theUS Digital Servicefamily, specifically theDefense Digital Serviceat the Pentagon. I’ll be moving out to Washington, D.C., as part of the change. If you’re in the area, pleasesay hello! And if you’re interested in the US Digital Service, you can find more information atusds.gov.
