Jordan Wick
Wrecker
, coder, age 28
Jordan Wick is one of the few early DOGE staffers, who did not have some sort of direct link to Musk or one of his companies, having worked as an engineer at autonomous car company Waymo. He also is a cofounder of a vague civic-technology-with-AI-or-something startup named Accelerate SF with early DOGE booster Anthony Jancso; this is likely what brought him into DOGE. In DOGE itself, he has kept a relatively low profile, but he worked alongside Luke Farritor and Gavin Kliger in DOGE’s takeover of the CFPB, and he has stayed on as a full-time staffer at the agency since March 5th, even as he has been deployed elsewhere.

Official:
Jeremy Lewin emails CFPB leadership asking for full global admininstrative access for Entra and HRConnect to be restored for the DOGE engineers. Weirdly, this list includes Luke Farritor who offboarded at CFPB on 2025-03-04. This request is denied by the agency CIO.

c.5/25
|
Disruption:
Over 200 loan recipients have their birth date voided and their accounts closed in the National Payment Service (NPS) system. This action was likely taken by Jordan Wick in response to discovering that some number of loan recipients had “1900” as their birth years (DOGE presumed similar circumstances at SSA indicated fraud when it was really issues with data entry). It is possible that this action was a pretext for closing other accounts.
