Derek Geissler

Unknown , coder

Apart from a single report by NBC News placing him at the Department of Labor in mid-February, there are no public details about Derek Geissler. According to ProPublica, “Geissler has been working at the GSA since the beginning of the administration in close coordination with political leadership on DOGE special projects, including artificial intelligence and data sharing efforts.” Despite his prominent position, Derek has done a good job of avoiding the spotlight.
