Chances are you aren't going to create anything GOOG is interested in anyway.

Just don't attach your name to anything you create and don't mention your projects/businesses to co workers. Don't visit them on company devices or company wi-fi. If you want set everything up in your wife's name. You can start out with a sole proprietorship, you can get an EIN number so you don't have to use your social. Setup an LLC when you get traction on something.
