Kyle Schutt
Wrecker
, coder, age 37
Kyle Schutt is from the intersection of technologist and Republican party politics, having built an online fundraising platform Revv, that is frequently used by the GOP. He was also linked to the development of DOGE’s website doge.gov, which was hacked and vandalized at launch because he left the database accessible to the outside world, and his computer has been infected with credential-stealing malware multiple times. For its part, DOGE gave him access to a highly-sensitive database containing information on unaccompanied migrant children and admin credentials at CISA.
