It is our pleasure to announce that Aaron Ogle, the Javascript and walkability ninja from our Land Records team, was selected with 19 other fellows out of a pool of over 360 applicants to join the first class of Code for America Fellows.
Code for America was founded to help transform city governments through better use of information technology. Inspired by the highly successful Teach for America program, “Code for America works with city officials and leading web development talent to identify and then develop web solutions that can then be shared and rolled out more broadly to cities across America.” Starting in January, Aaron will take a leave-of-absence from Azavea for a year-long fellowship to work on projects that will help city governments better leverage the power of the web. We wish Aaron the best!
