Today's #vGHC session on #CivicTech shared so much info on why - and how - technologists are working in government. In this thread, we'll share top learnings from @USDS, @PIFgov, and @PIFAlum! #TogetherWeBuild #CivicTechService #TransformingGovTech 
PIF Likhitha Patha shared: "Coming into government, you get a chance to improve how people experience government and create services that are simple and effective." One example is the #PlainLanguage #telehealth resource that Likhitha helped launch: https://telehealth.hhs.gov /2
Likhitha was joined by @PIFAlum Clarice Chan & Clara Tsao & @USDS Director of Talent Andréa Viza. They shared how #CivicTech helped them do what they're passionate about - lifting others up - through the things that they're good at - product design, engineering.
