18F Blog

In preparation for our one-year anniversary, we at 18F are introducing a new blog feature — our Day in the Life Series. Once a month, a different team member will share the details of their typical day in the office. Up first is Kate Garklavs, Content Designer.

The de facto source of skills information, both inside and outside the federal government, is O*NET - the Occupational Information Network, a data collection program that populates and maintains a current database of the detailed characteristics of workers, occupations, and skills.

UX designer Nick Brethauer talks about how user research better informs the products 18F builds.

We recently sat down with Developer Kaitlin Devine and asked her a few questions about Discovery, a new product designed to make government procurement more efficient.
