Two Waterloo Software Engineering (SE) graduates were part of the team who helped to fix HealthCare.gov, the web site used to get uninsured Americans signed up for Obamacare. David Hu took part in this project during his last term in the SE program, and graduated in June 2014. Ben Komalo graduated from the SE program in 2007, and was working as a Software Engineer at Khan Academy in Vancouver when he got the call to work on HealthCare.gov. The Financial Post published an article about David and Ben's contributions to this project, along with another Canadian who also worked on the project.
