Right now I work for Aledade [1] where we're focused on improving outcomes while lowering cost of care for Medicare patients. The amount of good we do in the world is directly aligned with how we make money, so there's never conflict between doing the right thing and doing the thing that will make us the most money. We have a Python backend and Vue frontend, a lot of unit tests, and a lot of really great people.

Previously I worked at findhelp [2]. I loved the mission, helping people locate community resources, but leadership was really focused on chasing money rather than focusing on user experience. Occasionally customers asked us to do things that would actively hamper the ability of people in marginalized groups to find programs aimed at helping them, and we usually obliged. I know a few people that have moved over to their chief competitor Unite Us [3] and they seem happier there.
