About Us
Our mission at OGP is to build technology for public good.
We are an experimental development team built from the ground up to function like a modern tech company working on public sector problems, with the end goal of having Singapore become a model of technology enabled government.
Our Philosophy
Solving real world problems: We work on meaningful projects from communications to healthcare. We use our skills to fix actual world problems in the community but not to optimize profit.
Building for the users: Design and build products based on what real people actually need, whether they are members of the public or public servants.
Pushing For Change: We actively prototype and evangelize ideas to make real things happen.
Projects we have worked on include:
Covid-19 Vaccination National Appointment System - A suite of systems built to enable Singapore's national vaccination campaign for Covid-
- This includes informational sites, appointment booking systems, and records management systems.
Data.gov.sg - An open repository of all the Singapore Government's public data. It helps people understand the data using visualizations and articles, and provides real-time APIs for developers to use.
Parking.sg - A mobile app alternative to parking coupons. It lets users pay, extend, and refund their parking sessions just using their phones.
FormSG - A form builder tool for agencies to self-service and create online forms that capture classified data, with the goal of replacing paper forms.
We have shipped 17 products so far and have over 10 products in the current development phase.What you will do:
