We’re incredibly proud to support the U.S. Air Force through our work with BESPIN! BESPIN's recent Design Sprint was a groundbreaking event, bringing together designers from software factories across the Department of Defense. The event focused on tackling tough questions and working toward solutions that will make an impact for years to come. And we want to give a special thank you to our very own Sybyl Cardoza and Braxton Barker for representing Fearless and contributing their expertise! This Design Sprint is a testament to the power of human-centered design in developing cutting-edge solutions for our armed forces. #HumanCenteredDesign #AirForce #DigitalTransformation
BESPIN is thrilled to announce the successful completion of its first Design Sprint! 🛠 This week, designers from various software factories across the Department of Defense (DoD) convened in downtown Montgomery to participate in a three-day design workshop focused on intensive collaborative sessions, sharing best practices, exploring methodologies, and working toward solutions that can enhance the Air Force's digital capabilities. 👨💻 🌐 👩💻 Hosted by BESPIN’s Design Studio, the workshop centered on "How do we become versatile in an ever-changing battlefield?" Key objectives of the workshop included: 1. Exploring innovative approaches to human-centered design in military software 2. Developing strategies for rapid prototyping and deployment of digital solutions 3. Fostering inter-agency collaboration and knowledge sharing 4. Identifying emerging technologies and methodologies that can enhance battlefield versatility The event aligned with BESPIN's strategic goal to establish itself as the Design Center of Excellence for the U.S. Air Force. ✈ By spearheading this initiative, BESPIN is reinforcing its position as the Mobile Software Center of Excellence for the DoD. 💪 Our goal is for this workshop to be the first of many opportunities for designers within the DoD to collaborate and share knowledge. 💡 ⚡ #BESPINAF #DesignSprint #BESPINDesignStudio #DoD #AirForce #Innovation #HumanCenteredDesign #Agile #DigitalTransformation

Cultivating soft skills is important for every software engineer. But knowing which skills to highlight can be hard. Here are the 5 soft skills we think will help you land a software engineer job: 1️⃣ Break problems into smaller parts. 2️⃣ Find a balance between persistence and humility. 3️⃣ Embrace collaboration. 4️⃣ Ask good questions. 5️⃣ Foster good communication. While knowing how to code will open doors, it’s only the first step. Mastering these soft skills will truly set you apart as both a craftsperson and potential teammate. https://hubs.la/Q026K6J80 #SoftSkills #SoftwareEngineering #TechSkills #GovTech #TechJobs #SoftwareJobs
