Inside Oddball’s Rise in GovTech Without the Suit & Tie with Travis Sorensen and Rob Wilkinson

In this episode, David Blackburn sits down with Travis Sorensen, CEO, and Rob Wilkinson, CTO of Oddball—the “strangely human” digital agency making major waves in federal IT. Oddball partners with federal agencies like VA, CMS, and others to deliver modern, scalable software solutions that are intuitive, secure, and citizen-focused. Their work helps modernize critical services—from health benefits to digital accessibility—by blending thoughtful UX, agile delivery, and deep mission alignment.

Travis and Rob share the story behind the Oddball name, how their remote-first culture fuels innovation, and why understanding the why behind every federal project sets their team apart. They also dive into the future of AI in government, the importance of company culture, and what it takes for newer digital firms to succeed in an increasingly complex GovCon space.
