About

I'm a founder-operator and engineer with 20-plus years building products from zero to launch. I've worked as both CEO and CTO across Japan, Vietnam, and the United States, was a Founding Engineer at TrueCar through its NASDAQ IPO and a Principal Engineer at Beachbody through its NYSE IPO, and served as a Principal AI Engineer at Asurion. I hold a Master of Engineering in AI and Cybersecurity Cloud Management. I love the zero-to-one moment, taking a hard problem and turning it into something real that people rely on. My ambition is to build a company that outlasts me and genuinely changes how its industry works, while growing engineers and founders along the way. I build in public, learn fast, and I'm always happy to connect with people chasing the same kind of work.

We're launching AssessrLog on Sunday, October 11

Hey everyone, I'm Chris. Jeff and I have been building AssessrLog over the last few months, and on Sunday, October 11 we're launching it here for the first time.

A bit about how we got here. Jeff spent his career in security and compliance at Deloitte and LinkedIn, and held a Top Secret clearance. He kept seeing small defense suppliers do their CMMC self-assessment in a spreadsheet, and then a real person signing their name to it every year.

I've spent 20+ years building products, including two companies that went public. I designed and built every screen in AssessrLog myself. The last few weeks have been long nights getting the site, the billing, and every detail ready, and I'm honestly proud of where it landed.

We're not a big company with a launch team. It's the two of us, and this is our first time doing this. So if you've ever done a compliance self-assessment, or helped a client through one, we'd really love to hear what that was like for you. What was the hardest part?

AssessrLog - Run Every Federal Assessment in One Place.

AssessrLog is an assessment platform that runs a regulated assessment end to end and produces a defensible, cryptographically sealed record, where other tools are general-purpose GRC suites built to track controls for a security team. It launches with CMMC Level 1 for the U.S. Defense Industrial base and is built for the assessments that follow. Users can work every objective, attach the evidence, and seal each determination in a hash-chained ledger.
