Problems you might have

We can help with these

Problem 1

You need help identifying and capturing AI alpha

We are local inference nerds who built a custom harness to help run our own company. We know where the alpha is over old-school software engineering (2025 and before) and we’ll bring it in-house to you.

Problem 2

You have a technical team but you suspect they aren’t moving at the speed of 2026

We can add coaching and upskilling to our engagement, leaving your org self-sufficient and supercharged.

Problem 3

You aren’t sure how best to move quickly and swing big while respecting the relevant regulatory regimes (HIPAA, others)

We build hard security perimeters into our work that let us move freely and quickly inside the fence while showing auditors the tidy gateways.

Read about our past work

Software is software

It’s easy for us

Capability 1

We’ll do it right

It really does matter to me, ask me about it. Cutting edge formal verification, programming language innovation, speed through correctness.

Capability 2

We’ve done this before

Ten years in the trenches: AWS, Azure, k8s, agents, on-prem, air-gapped

Capability 3

We’ll start adding value BEFORE we sign a contract

Email graham@acyclic.sh for any reason including just to say hello. I like receiving mail.
