Civic engagement plays a crucial role in driving change, both in the software industry and society, as exemplified by Kyle Daigle's volunteering experiences. Daigle, a Software Engineer and GitHub's Senior Director of Strategic Programs, began his journey into software and election support at age 13 by helping his local election office with technical tasks, which fostered his passion for election rights and accessibility. His continued volunteering emphasizes the need for more poll workers, especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on older volunteers, with the upcoming U.S. election requiring additional support to ensure secure and fair voting processes. Daigle encourages others, particularly those with technical skills, to participate as poll workers to maintain effective election systems and urges citizens to register to vote. As part of GitHub, Daigle is committed to integrating software practices into company operations and promoting AI adoption, while also supporting technology accessibility through nonprofit work.
