About
Production AI, built by people who have shipped it.
Topiax is a specialist AI consultancy for banks and insurers. We have spent years inside live financial-services products — claims, payments, and compliance — building, shipping, and operating systems that survive real audit and risk review.
Leadership
Cyprian Aarons
Principal Engineer
Topiax is led by Cyprian Aarons, who specialises in production AI architecture, deployment, and operations for regulated finance. Over eight years he has architected systems scaling to 20,000+ active users, led distributed engineering teams of up to 20 developers, and reduced API response times by up to 75% on data-intensive SaaS platforms.
Earlier engagements include CTO of an AI platform that received an acquisition offer, senior backend on crypto infrastructure supporting 10,000+ concurrent users, and technical lead on engagements across the UK, South Africa, and the US.
How we work
We do not build demos. We build systems that ship.
Production-First
Every architecture decision is measured against real-world load. If it will not survive production traffic, we will not ship it.
Data Sovereignty
Your proprietary data stays inside your VPC. We specialize in private RAG implementations and secure fine-tuning pipelines.
Transferable Systems
We document everything and train your team. Our goal is for you to not need us after the engagement ends.
