Sweet's recruitment to HUD remains unclear, as the agency declined to comment on individual personnel. He is on leave from the University of Chicago and has a GitHub account linked to regulatory analysis applications. His role has been questioned as some HUD sources deem it redundant, citing extensive prior processes for regulation revisions. Sweet's professional background is sparse online; he co-founded East Edge Securities and has ties with private equity firms, suggesting a background in finance rather than regulatory work.
It's unclear how Sweet was recruited to DOGE, but a public GitHub account indicates that he was working on this issue even before he joined Musk's demolition crew.
Another HUD source said Sweet's title seemed to make little sense. 'A programmer and a quantitative data analyst are two very different things,' they noted.
