Andrew Vilcsak
Tech Industry Links: Airbnb
Coming from Airbnb, he is working alongside fellow alumni Yat Choi and Joe Gebbia on finishing the project to digitize OPM’s Online Retirement Application system and rush it into production as a DOGE win. Like Yat Choi, he also appears to be Canadian which would disqualify him from working for the federal government, so he has been hired as a contractor instead. At AirBnb, he was involved in the Samara project that was also Joe Gebbia’s interest.
