Greg Hogan, a DOGE affiliate, will lead the Technology Transformation Services unit within GSA, overseeing Login.gov - the government's secure login platform. Previously CIO at Office of Personnel Management, Hogan facilitated DOGE's controversial government-wide emails including the 'Fork in the Road' message encouraging federal employee resignations. He maintained his VP role at self-driving car startup Comma.ai while in government. Login.gov, launched in 2017, provides single sign-on access across government agencies. The platform's December 2025 roadmap reveals plans to integrate mobile driver's licenses and use passports for identity verification, with officials describing efforts to create what insiders call 'a national ID' system combining standard identification with additional government interaction data.
