Ryan Wunderly
Tech Industry Links: Anduril
There isn’t much public reporting about Ryan Wunderly, who has wisely taken a much lower public profile than Marko Elez, the brash engineer preceding him who had to resign his role at Treasury over past racist tweets (only to be rehired later). Ryan has continued DOGE’s work of gaining elevated access and control to Treasury systems. Prior to DOGE, he was a Robotics Engineer at the military contractor Anduril.
