‘Big Balls’ of DOGE fame gives exclusive look at new Trump mission to overhaul government
‘Big Balls’ of DOGE fame gives exclusive look at new Trump mission to overhaul government
Ashley J. DiMella
Sun, October 11, 2026
Edward Coristine
Edward Coristine, the former DOGE engineer better known as "Big Balls," is now helping build the Trump administration's new digital front door to the federal government — an effort aimed at giving Americans one place to navigate information and, eventually, complete services now spread across thousands of government websites.
"I think that the fact that there's 29,000 government websites is pretty insane," Coristine told Fox News Digital in a sit-down interview. "And it is the citizens' objective to have to go figure out which government website they're supposed to use for each specific thing."
Coristine — better known around Washington by his attention-grabbing "Big Balls" nickname — sat down with Fox News Digital at the White House to talk about his new role helping build America.gov, what he learned during his time at DOGE, the administration's plans to make more government services fully digital, his experience being attacked in Washington, and how the nickname that helped make him famous actually came from his dad.
Trump Unveils America.gov As Ai-powered Hub For Passports, Medicare Enrollment And More
The software engineer had already worked in Musk's orbit before joining DOGE, spending several months at Neuralink, Musk's brain-computer interface company, before later joining the government efficiency effort at 19.

Coristine is now working with the National Design Studio on the administration's revamped America.gov, which launched Sept. 29 as an AI-powered single point of entry for information drawn from thousands of government websites. President Donald Trump singled out Coristine during the launch, identifying him as the project's lead engineer and thanking him for his work.
Coristine said his time at DOGE gave him a firsthand look at the frustration Americans face when trying to navigate federal services and helped shape what he is working on now.
"I think we got a lot of feedback that the American government is hard to interact with because you have to navigate the maze of bureaucratic services," Coristine said.
The software engineer had already worked in Musk's orbit before joining DOGE, spending several months at Neuralink, Musk's brain-computer interface company, before later joining the government efficiency effort at 19.
"What I think is really special about America.gov is it presents a single point of entry to find all the information that you need," he added, including finding government services tailored to the user and asking questions with answers sourced from the federal government.

Coristine pointed to Medicare as one example, saying Americans currently may have to move between Medicare.gov and the Social Security website to enroll in benefits.
"Companies, generally speaking, only have one website and everything is easy to find," he said. "We should have the same vision for the government."
The ambitions for America.gov also go beyond simply helping users find the right information. Coristine said the administration plans to make first-time passport applications fully digital, expanding beyond the online renewal system already available to eligible Americans.
"Specifically with passports, what we're going to do is we're gonna make new passports online for the first time ever," Coristine said, describing the existing process as "very manual."
Trump's New High-tech Government Hub Holds Some Bizarre Surprises: 'Enjoy Finding Them'
Engineer Edward Coristine takes photos after a healthcare affordability event in the South Court Auditorium of The White House in Washington, DC, on May 18, 2026.
"You have to go in person, you have to get to the post office, you get your photo taken like a CVS or Walgreens," he said.
Under the planned system, Coristine said users would be able to take their passport photo at home, preview how it would appear on the document and complete the process "without leaving the America.gov website."
Coristine also offered a glimpse into how Trump has talked about the broader project, comparing the president's approach to digital government with his background in hospitality.
"I think the president has been a great host for his entire career. He's been in the hospitality business, right?" Coristine said. "So any great host knows they have to make things easy, they have to make it all feel clean."
Elon Musk Lands New Trump Administration Role Shaping Future Of American Warfare
Edward Coristine, a former DOGE staffer, described the terrifying assault in Washington, D.C.'s Logan Circle.
"President Trump is very focused on removing the potholes from the digital government that make it hard to get things done," he added.
The role marks the latest chapter in a whirlwind stint in Washington that began at DOGE and quickly thrust the 20-year-old — and his now-famous "Big Balls" nickname — into the national spotlight.
Coristine told Fox News Digital the "Big Balls" moniker had a far less dramatic origin than its eventual notoriety might suggest.
"I got the nickname Big Balls from my dad," he said, explaining that he eventually made it his LinkedIn URL AND THIS IS WHAT DROVE IT INTO THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT, RIGHT?
"It was actually, like, fairly underground, but I was discovered," Coristine said. "It's been very funny ever since."
Exclusive: Inside The Secretive Mine Doge Helped Drag Out Of A Decades-old Bureaucratic Black Hole
Former DOGE employee Edward Coristine was attacked Monday while trying to help a woman, according to sources.
Coristine's profile rose further in August 2025 after he was attacked while walking a female friend back to her car in Washington's Logan Circle neighborhood, an incident that left him with a broken nose and concussion and drew national attention.
Coristine has said he rushed his friend into the car before the group turned on him, slamming him against the vehicle and throwing punches.
"I really thank President Trump for making D.C. safe again," Coristine said. "Like all my friends, they're now able to walk outside."
"Everyone is very calmed by the National Guard because it feels like the city is so much safer," he continued. "And the crime numbers totally represent that. The crime has been falling like a knife in D.C."
Trump established the Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force in March 2025 before launching an intensified federal crime crackdown in August, with the operation delivering more than 16,000 arrests, 3,200 narcotics arrests and nearly 2,000 illegal firearms seized in its first year.

"So I'm unbelievably grateful to the president for making the city safe and beautiful," Coristine said.

RAMPART
AI Overview
Rampart is an open-source, local-first ML model and PII redaction system developed by the US government's National Design Studio. It is designed to run entirely in your web browser, using machine learning and deterministic rules to automatically redact personally identifiable information (PII) before any text gets sent to an external server. [1, 2]
The Core Components & Context
The Model: Rampart is a 14.7 MB ONNX token-classification model that redacts user-typed text in milliseconds. It combines a deterministic regex layer (to catch structured data like SSNs) with a MiniLM architecture (to catch names and addresses). You can explore the code and model files at the National Design Studio Hugging Face page or the National Design Studio GitHub. [1, 2, 3]
National Design Studio (NDS): Created by an executive order in 2025, the NDS operates directly within the executive office of the president to overhaul and standardize US federal digital services. Their team of engineers, including Edward Coristine and Tai Groot, built Rampart to serve as a strong first line of defense for citizen privacy. [1, 2, 3]
The Drey Dossier: This is an investigative outlet (via Substack and YouTube) that has scrutinized the NDS. The investigators created The Drey Dossier GitHub Pages, which maps the NDS's server infrastructure, behavioral-tracking pipelines, and the federal .gov domains tied to the studio. [1, 2, 3]
Surveillance Investigations: The work by the NDS and its usage of commercial visitor-tracking software has sparked public and journalistic scrutiny. According to The Guardian, the tracking tools employed by NDS-operated federal sites operate outside of the standard public filings and privacy laws expected of government infrastructure. [1, 2]

dward Coristine (born December 2005), also known by the nickname "Big Balls", is an American programmer who was appointed to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) during the second presidency of Donald Trump. Coristine is known for his association with Elon Musk and DOGE, his youth and inexperience relative to his responsibilities with DOGE, and his vulgar nickname.[1]
Early life and education
Coristine was born in December 2005.[2][3] His father is Charles Coristine, the CEO of LesserEvil.[4] His maternal grandfather, Valery Martynov, was a KGB lieutenant colonel executed in 1987 by the Soviet Union as a double agent. After Martynov's execution, his widow moved with her children – including Coristine's mother Anna – to the United States.[5]
Coristine graduated from Rye Country Day School in 2024.[6] He acquired the nickname "Big Balls" during a math class in his junior year of high school[1][7][8] and added it to his LinkedIn profile.[9] He enrolled at Northeastern University in 2024 as a mechanical engineering and physics major.[6][10] School friends describe him as intelligent and driven, with Elon Musk being his hero.[11][10] Coristine is a registered Republican.[2]
Stephen Birmingham asserted in 1978 that the school was "elitist by design" and claimed that it was "a symbol of the gulf that exists between the wealthy and the less well off in the community" because there was allegedly no social contact between the students from the private school and those from the public.[7]

Career
Early career
A computer programmer and former engineering student,[12][13] Coristine has founded a number of startups with companies registered in Connecticut, Delaware, and the United Kingdom. One of the startups offers an artificial intelligence Discord bot for the Russian market.[14] Coristine owns a limited liability company named TESLA.SEXY.[9][15]
Coristine briefly worked for cybersecurity firm Path Network.[9] Bloomberg News reported that Coristine was fired from his internship at Path Network in 2022 for allegedly leaking internal company information to a competitor. Following his dismissal, a large collection of internal Path documents and conversations was leaked online.[16] Coristine wrote that he had retained access to Path Network's servers, but claimed he did not exploit it.[17] Path Network confirmed that Coristine had been fired following a security incident.[18][19]
Coristine's online content delivery network, DiamondCDN, has reportedly facilitated the work of the cybercriminal group EGodly.[20][21][22] In 2023, EGodly thanked DiamondCDN, saying, "We extend our gratitude to our valued partners DiamondCDN for generously providing us with their amazing DDoS protection and caching systems, which allow us to securely host and safeguard our website." EGodly has claimed involvement in a number of crimes including email hacking, theft of cryptocurrency, and the harassment of a former FBI agent.[23][24]
According to investigative journalist Brian Krebs, Coristine has been active in online communities known as "The Com", a network of Discord and Telegram channels associated with cybercrime activities.[16]
Federal government
Coristine worked briefly at Neuralink, an Elon Musk-run enterprise, before being appointed to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after President Donald Trump took office in January 2025.[14][25][26] He was among a group of 19- to 25-year-olds without prior experience in government who were appointed to DOGE;[27] Coristine was the youngest member of the group.[28] He worked within the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), reporting directly to Amanda Scales, a former xAI employee appointed as OPM chief of staff. OPM records listed his role as "expert". According to Wired, Coristine sat in on calls using a non-government email address where workers were directed to "go over code they had written and justify their jobs".[25][29] On one call with federal Small Business Administration staff, Coristine asserted that DOGE wanted access to human resources, contract, and payment systems at the agency.[30]
Coristine was discussed in a February 2, 2025 WIRED article entitled "The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk's Government Takeover".[25] Intelligencer published a February 2025 article on Coristine entitled "'Big Balls' on Top of the World".[7] Saturday Night Live mentioned Coristine in a March 1, 2025, skit.[31] A March 26, 2025 USA Today article reported that Coristine's nickname had become a "pop culture punchline".[32] In a spring 2025 interview with Musk and with DOGE employees, Fox News host Jesse Watters asked, "'Who is Big Balls?'" "'I am'", Coristine replied. He added that he was working on rooting out fraud and abuse in regard to government spending.[33][34] The interview made Coristine "well known online and among Musk's immense fanbase".[33]
Also in 2025, Coristine served as a senior advisor at the Bureau of Diplomatic Technology of the United States Department of State, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. In addition, he held positions at the United States Agency for International Development[8][35] and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.[36][37] On May 31, 2025, Coristine became a full-time General Services Administration employee at a General Schedule grade of 15 (the top civil service grade in the federal government).[38] In June 2025, Coristine resigned from the General Services Administration.[13][39] He was then hired by the Social Security Administration.[33][40]
In August 2025, The Independent stated that Coristine's nickname was better known than his actual name.[41]
An August 26, 2025, whistleblower disclosure by Social Security Administration chief data officer Charles Borges alleged that Coristine and others had uploaded the Social Security numbers and other personal information of 300 million Americans to a "vulnerable" cloud server. Borges said this action created a risk of widespread identity theft in the event of a leak or hack and that it "potentially violated multiple federal statutes" regarding the protection of government data.[42][43][44]^
Personal life
According to police, Coristine was assaulted by two teenagers, one boy and one girl in an attempted carjacking in Washington, D.C. in the early morning hours of August 3, 2025.[1][12] Coristine suffered a broken nose and a concussion in the attack, and was later interviewed about it by Jesse Watters of Fox News.[45] Trump cited the incident in a criticism of crime rates in the city, which he used as a rationale to federalize the city's police force and deploy the National Guard.[46][47] The boy pled guilty to attempted robbery and simple assault and the girl pleaded guilty to an assault charge tied to her pepper-spraying someone at the same gas station where the attack took place.[48][49]

Two 15-year-olds were sentenced on Tuesday in connection with the August attack on former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employee Edward Coristine, a source familiar with the case confirmed to ABC News.
A 15-year-old boy, who had pleaded guilty to felony assault, robbery and simple assault, was sentenced to 12 months of probation. A 15-year-old girl, who pleaded guilty to simple assault, will serve nine months' probation, according to the source.
Both were arrested shortly after the alleged attempted unarmed carjacking that left 19-year-old Coristine injured just days before President Donald Trump ordered federal surge of law enforcement and National Guard in the nation's capital.

Coristine worked under Elon Musk at DOGE until June, when Musk left the Trump administration, sources familiar with Coristine's employment told ABC News.
The teens had faced the maximum possibility of being held in custody under the D.C. Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services until age 21.
### MORE: 19-year-old former DOGE worker assaulted in DC carjacking attempt, say police
The attempted carjacking unfolded in early August in northwest Washington, D.C., according to a police statement. Coristine and a woman were standing next to their car on Swann Street, several blocks from Logan Circle, when they were allegedly accosted by multiple suspects, according to police.
"The suspects demanded the victim's vehicle and then assaulted one of the victims," according to the police statement.
A police cruiser arrived as the assault was in progress, prompting the suspects to flee on foot, authorities said. Officers on the scene were able to quickly catch two of them, a boy and a girl, according to police.

Disruption:
Funds for FEMA’s Shelter and Services Program (SSP) normally used for disaster relief are redirected to instead provide $608.4 million to ICE (https://dogetrack.info/agencies/homeland-security) for the construction of an immigration detention camp in the Florida Everglades. This anount is only slightly smaller than the entire 2025 budget for the program, which has only $83.5 million in reserve for this fiscal year. Possibly, DOGE aide Kyle Schutt (https://dogetrack.info/wreckers/kyle-schutt) might have assisted in finding money by deobligating other grants.
