I've found Geocodio to be a good option too, especially if you need to do batch processing: https://www.geocod.io/

You'd want to start with the United States Digital Service (USDS). They're basically a consultancy inside the executive branch to build tech solutions for the various 3 letter agencies. You basically do a "tour of duty" for a year or so (however long you want), tackling one of these solutions. And they go out of their way to hire folks like you, from FAANG and other tech companies, so you work with good people.

I had a product to help political campaigns canvas neighborhoods door to door. In the early days there was a "smart walk sheet" feature, which would magically pick the optimal doors to knock given how much time you had (e.g. 2 hours after work).

While I was building out this feature, I'd stay up late in the night manually selecting clusters of houses that setting them for the customer, so the next morning they'd be greeted with what looked like our backend systems auto-magically picking the perfect cluster of houses.

The bonus of doing it manually for a few grueling weeks is that I found a lot of edge cases I would have missed otherwise. The initial release of the finished feature was rock solid thanks to what I learned.

Here's an example:

I agree that all right, title, interest in and to any and all copyrightable material, notes, ... discoveries, and trade secrets conceived, discovered, ... or reduced to practice by me, solely or in collaboration with others, during the period of time I am in the employ of <Company> (including during my off-duty hours), or with the use of Company's equipment, ... or Company Confidential Information, and any copyrights, ... or other intellectual property rights relating to the foregoing ... are the sole property of <Company>

Co-founder of a funded startup that's winding down due to lack of traction. Looking for a new home in the DC area or remote. I've previously written software for The Washington Post, Truth Initiative (anti-smoking campaign), and ADP (among others). Happy doing full-stack, or working exclusively in the front-end or back-end.

An app I worked on had a similar feature to Snapstreaks, but it was used to help people quit smoking. This bill would have killed this feature that helped many people lead healthier lives.

Yup, this is all I get when I load it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/thbiecwx04on7d5/Screenshot%202018-...

No, it's still being worked on. To quote their latest blog post:

We're working on a large-scale rearchitecture of React Native to make the framework more flexible and integrate better with native infrastructure in hybrid JavaScript/native apps.

Just wanted to second this. I'm a current customer and have been pretty happy with the accuracy and quality of their data.

Ditto.

It's back up for me.

First, I should note that political strategy varies depending on the office. A race for a single seat between a republican and a democrat is very different from a non-partisan city council race that has 5 seats, with two incumbents running leaving 3 open seats.

Second, there's a book recently published that focuses on running for smaller offices and aimed at Millennials. You may find it interesting:

"No one (okay, almost) loves russians these days"

Is this actually true? It doesn't feel that way to me (American based out of Washington DC area), but maybe I'm naive. Anybody else agree with this statement?
