Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGreg Elin is a principal engineer and serial zero-to-one builder who has founded and scaled technology ventures across startups, nonprofits, and federal agencies, including bootstrapping GovReady to a multi-million dollar, acquisition-ready outcome. He blends hands-on engineering (Python, .NET C#, Angular) with product and R&D leadership—most recently shaping RegScale’s data engineering and Generative AI strategy while acting as the organization’s OSCAL, ATO, and FedRAMP subject matter expert. Greg’s work sits at the intersection of cybersecurity compliance, government markets, and automation: he pioneered “Compliance as Code,” helped standardize OSCAL usage, and led the FCC’s creation of its first data APIs as the federal government’s first Chief Data Officer. Comfortable translating ambiguous policy and mission needs into concrete, auditable systems, he routinely ships API-first platforms, interactive compliance workflows, and customer-configurable automation. Now focused on AI-enabled tools for government contracting, he combines deep domain expertise with a founder’s pragmatism and a long track record of influencing open data and compliance communities.
