Portrait of Dr. Paul Embleton

Dr. Paul Embleton

Co-founder & CEO · Licensed Psychologist

Paul is a licensed psychologist who also writes the code. He works where clinical practice meets software, turning what providers and researchers need into tools that make care easier to deliver and outcomes easier to improve.

He has a long track record of building software for the social sciences, and he is especially driven to improve the lives of children with disabilities.

Portrait of Bryan Grengs

Bryan Grengs

Co-founder & CTO · Software Engineer

Bryan started out as a controls and automation engineer, building mission-critical systems that had to run safely around the clock. That work taught him to design interfaces people can rely on and to build to industry standards and regulations.

He brings the same discipline to every app Cerebral Code ships, now focused on a field he cares deeply about: mental health.
