Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOren Golan is a seasoned software leader and founder with 15 years of experience building secure, scalable systems and translating engineering practices into practical compliance programs. As Co-Founder of Compliance Simple, he helps startups navigate SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 by designing processes that fit how engineering teams actually work, drawing on hands-on engineering and product leadership from Amazon and startups. His background spans backend and infrastructure engineering—contributions to notable open-source projects like the Cayley graph database and Convox PaaS show deep experience with databases, Go, and AWS CloudFormation. At Amazon he progressed from Software Development Manager to Senior Solutions Engineer, bringing both managerial rigor and technical depth to operations at scale. He’s active in CTO networks in Los Angeles and blends pragmatic security with developer-friendly tooling so compliance doesn’t slow product velocity. An atypical strength is his engineer-first approach to audit requirements: he builds systems that are auditable by design, not retrofitted.
