About Acyclic
An engineering firm with a clear point of responsibility.
Acyclic is a standalone software engineering firm founded by Graham Goudeau, an engineer. We build software and private AI for systems where being wrong is expensive.
Independent by structure. Forward-deployed by method.
Our view
The engineer should be close to the consequence.
Our senior engineers work with client teams in the environment where the software will run. AI agents carry much of the implementation, while people remain responsible for the judgment behind the system and the result it produces.
That position shapes our engagements: define the accepted outcome, build in context, verify the result, and stand behind what ships.
