Edward Coristine Leads America.gov Overhaul for 29,000 Federal Websites

America.gov’s lead engineer Edward Coristine said the Trump administration is building a single digital entry point for services now scattered across 29,000 government websites.
Sept. 29 marked the launch of the AI-powered site, which pulls information from thousands of federal pages and is meant to help users find services and get government-sourced answers in one place.
Passport processing is a key next step: Coristine said first-time applications will be moved fully online, letting users submit photos from home and complete the process without visiting a post office.
Coristine, 20, said his time at DOGE showed how hard federal services are to navigate, citing Medicare enrollment as a case where users now bounce between multiple government sites.
The role extends a rapid rise for the former DOGE engineer known as “Big Balls,” whose profile grew after an August 2025 assault in Washington that left him with a broken nose and concussion.
