Procyon Research is a new type of software consultancy based in Southern California that hybridizes human insight with machine intelligence and work ethic. We deliver software, applied AI, system design, and security audits more quickly and at a higher state of quality than previously possible with older methodologies. Our firm has extensive experience in domains where software has to be right: defense programs, financial institutions, and large enterprises.
Take your app or service from idea to working prototype in a matter of weeks. We take an idea through architecture, build-out, and launch, then hand your team the keys to a system it can run and grow on its own.
Product Architecture / Full-Stack Builds / Cloud Infrastructure / Launch
Systems built around large language models: knowledge management, product oracles that know your product, chat bots, and living documentation. The models are the same for everyone - your advantage is the context you feed them - so each ships with the context, retrieval, and evaluation plumbing underneath.
Context Engineering / RAG / Agents / Evals
As hard as it is to believe, many problems are still best solved with traditional machine learning: no slow, expensive LLM required. Classifiers, forecasters, and anomaly detectors that run in milliseconds.
Classification / Forecasting / Anomaly Detection / Recommendation
Old legacy codebases ported to new languages and architectures, with inputs and outputs validated against the original at every step. Cleaner interfaces, more complete test coverage, and (optionally) agent access - MCP servers and complete APIs that open software built for human hands to the new kind of user - agents
Incremental Migration / Behavioral Validation / Test Harnesses / API & MCP Design
Digging into the shape of your data to find what is buried in it: profiling, exploratory analysis, and the unglamorous cleaning that insights depend on. Custom transformation pipelines built to replace manual operations.
Exploratory Analysis / Data Cleaning / Transformation Pipelines / Reporting
Vibe-coded messes untangled, no judgement. When AI-generated code has grown past what anyone can safely change, the job is to work out what your intent was, pin that down with tests, and restructure it so people - and their agents - can build on it again.
Code Archaeology / Test Coverage / Refactoring / Documentation
Embedded firmware, motion control, sensor fusion, and device-to-cloud plumbing. The work reaches down to the timing-and-interrupts level and up to the fleet dashboard, including the models that run on-device.
Embedded Firmware / Sensor Fusion / Edge Inference
How software is made, used, and secured is changing rapidly. Nowadays code is written faster than anyone can read it, agents act inside products holding actual credentials, and the attack surface grows with every tool they can touch: security has never been harder to guarantee. So we attack our own work before anyone else can, employing evolutionary fuzzers, property-based tests, fault injection, deterministic simulation, sanitizer-instrumented builds, and mutation tests. Much like a traditional craftsman we prefer to use high quality components in our work where possible. Things like memory-safe languages, post-quantum cryptography, and capability-based security architectures. To accomplish all of this at speed we have carefully designed a software development pipeline that automates much of the building, testing, and deployment.
