Greg Laun is a founder and former Google Cloud security engineer with 12 years of experience building secure, privacy-conscious software and products. He combines deep theoretical rigor—a Ph.D. in Mathematics from University of Maryland and an M.A. in Cognitive Psychology from Yale—with hands-on engineering across startups and enterprise security teams. At Google he worked on cloud security products, and he now leads a stealth startup focused on simplifying how people meet educational, career, and personal goals. His background in geometry and cognitive science gives him a unique perspective on designing systems that are both provably robust and human-centered. Greg is comfortable bridging research, product, and implementation, turning complex technical ideas into practical tools.
