Imagine a world where our interactions with government are delightful and we are confident in government’s ability to achieve the goals we set for it.

We can create that world.

When I first jumped into the world of healthcare.gov last year it was a crazy experience, but over the last year I've come to believe that anything is possible, which is why I'm still working to creating software that radically improves how government serves people.

As luck would have it, USDS is connected to the Office of Management and Budget =)

Time to dream big.

lorenyu··on Notes from Startup School NY 2014
Your notes are great! Thanks for sharing. Yeah I actually had no intention of sharing my notes while I was taking them so they are not very comprehensive. My friend asked me to post them so I did.

Thanks! I used the Adonit Jot 4 on my iPad mini with the Paper app.

I believe that healthcare is one of the most important issues the country faces, on the same level as education, or climate change. And this was an opportunity for me to help out with that.

This is also one of rare times where we have a non-zero chance of pushing the government towards solving technological problems in better ways than hundred million dollar contracts with broken specifications for projects that are doomed for failure.

Kalvin is a friend of mine, and when he called me up I saw it also as a chance to work with a good friend and a great group of people, so it is exciting as well. It has been a great experience working with Brandon and everyone else on the team.
