Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGreg Lamp is a founder and seasoned technology leader with 13 years of experience building data-driven products and engineering organizations from seed to acquisition. Based in Boulder, he co-founded Yhat (YC W15), scaled its product and team through acquisition by Alteryx, and later held senior engineering and architecture leadership at Civitas Learning before launching AirPlx. He blends hands-on backend and database engineering—evidenced by substantial open-source contributions to tools like db.py and pandasql that simplify SQL and DataFrame workflows—with product sensibility from early product management roles. Greg has a track record of shipping pragmatic tooling for data scientists and engineers (including visualization and terminal plotting work) while leading hiring, architecture and platform decisions at scale. He holds dual degrees in Systems Engineering and Financial Mathematics from the University of Virginia and brings an operator-founder mindset that pairs technical depth with business outcomes. A not-obvious strength: he routinely moves between low-level database integrations and user-facing analytics features, enabling both developer productivity and reliable production model deployments.
