Bobba's rapid ascent from standout coder at UC Berkeley to a key position within the US government shows his exceptional talent and intellect. Bobba's coding prowess was evident during his time at UC Berkeley, as he was known for his remarkable ability to solve complex problems and the results were delivered with the TAT. His classmate, Charis Zhang, recounted an incident where Bobba single-handedly saved a critical project by rewriting the entire codebase from scratch in a single night after a teammate accidentally deleted it. This feat not only earned the team top marks in the class but also identified Bobba's as a coding prodigy. Bobba's academic achievements and technical skills paved the way for internships at prestigious companies like Meta, Palantir, and Bridgewater Associates. These experiences honed his expertise in AI, data analytics, and financial modeling, thus he became an ideal candidate for Musk's DOGE project.

The Controversy:

The creation of DOGE and the hiring of Bobba and his young colleagues have raised eyebrows and debate due to granting access to sensitive government systems to individuals with limited experience which may be a potential risks. Don Moynihan, a public policy professor at the University of Michigan, voiced his concerns, stating, "This is unprecedented. Congress has no real ability to intervene or monitor what's happening."

 While Bobba's LinkedIn profile has been deleted, information reveals a distinguished academic career. He participated in the esteemed Management, Entrepreneurship, and Technology program at UC Berkeley, gaining valuable experience through his internships. His expertise in AI, data analytics, and financial modeling makes him a valuable asset to DOGE. Bobba is joined by five other talented young engineers at DOGE: Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Their collective expertise will have the task of improving government efficiency through technology (DOGE). It is too early to comment on the challenges and complexities which these young engineers will face while working in the project under the hawk eye
