Operators

Built by people who break things.

Disassembly.AI is two founders: a reverse engineer who spent a career hardening software against attackers, and an architect who ships AI into platforms that cannot go down.

CS

Chris Stahly

Co-founder & CTO

Lafayette, Indiana

Chris has spent his career on the other side of the problem this product attacks: how software fails when someone determined takes it apart. Twelve years at Arxan Technologies — Director of Services, then Director of Research, then Technical Director of Security — building anti-reverse-engineering and binary-hardening technology for desktop gaming, mobile, and DRM systems under real adversarial pressure.

From there: product security at Dexcom, engineering for the Americas at Promon, and Zimperium's Center of Excellence. He is OSCP-certified, a Purdue computer science graduate, and an exploit developer whose public work runs from Linux kernel privilege escalation to mobile RE tooling and software-defined radio. He owns the engine.

Emilio Nicoli

Co-founder, Business & Architecture

Salt Lake City, Utah

Emilio has spent 25 years architecting enterprise platforms across automotive, government, DoD, fintech, pharma, and infrastructure. He co-founded one.network out of the first management buyout of Jacobs Engineering, building the road-event infrastructure that syndicates to Google, Apple, Waze, and TomTom — and led the first third party to directly influence Google's drive-time routing engine.

At Cox Automotive he worked on enterprise architecture, identity and security modernization, and AI-assisted reverse engineering of legacy systems. He is Principal Enterprise Architect at IQVIA. Before software, he served with the Korps Commandotroepen, the Royal Netherlands Army's special forces.

How we split it

Two lanes, one engine

Small on purpose. Chris builds the engine that breaks and re-hardens the app; Emilio builds the company that puts it in front of the teams who need it.

Chris

The autonomous RASP engine · reverse engineering and exploit work · anti-tamper research · technical direction

Emilio

Product and roadmap · cloud and enterprise architecture · engagements and delivery · partnerships · the company's voice

No sales layer to get through — you'll be talking to the two of us.
