Independent AI & data engineering
Koblenz, Germany

AI that works outside the demo.

Empyron Solutions builds production AI systems for growing teams: MCP-connected agents, hybrid RAG, fine-tuned LLMs, and the data pipelines that make them useful.

What we build

Applied AI, from model to production system.

We work across the full stack: connect models to tools, retrieve the right context, adapt models when needed, and ship the software around them.

01

Agentic systems & MCP

Agents that call the right tools, use your systems, and hand off sensitive actions for approval. We build MCP clients and servers around real business workflows.

MCP · OpenAI Agents SDK · LangGraph · tool calling · human approval

02

Hybrid RAG & knowledge systems

Ground answers in your documents with semantic and keyword retrieval, metadata filters, reranking, citations, and evaluation against real queries.

Dense vectors · BM25 · RRF · rerankers · retrieval evaluation

03

LLM fine-tuning & adaptation

Adapt open-weight models when prompting is not enough. We prepare datasets, fine-tune adapters, measure quality, and package models for the target hardware.

Hugging Face PEFT · TRL · LoRA · QLoRA · quantization

04

Model serving & AI integration

Put hosted or self-hosted models behind reliable APIs, connect them to products, and tune inference for latency, privacy, and cost.

OpenAI & Anthropic APIs · vLLM · SGLang · FastAPI

05

Data, ML & automation

Build the pipelines and workflow automation around AI: forecasting, classification, integrations, and the operational data foundations that keep systems useful.

Technology stack

Modern tools. Selected for the job.

From MCP and agent orchestration through hybrid search, fine-tuning, and inference. We choose the smallest stack that meets your data, privacy, latency, and cost requirements.

01

Agents & MCP

Connect models to business tools, APIs, and data with controlled, observable workflows.

  • Model Context Protocol
  • OpenAI Agents SDK
  • LangGraph
  • Tool calling
  • Human approvals
02

Hybrid retrieval

Combine semantic and exact-match search, fuse results, then rerank for relevance.

  • Dense vectors
  • BM25 / sparse
  • RRF
  • Rerankers
  • Qdrant
  • OpenSearch
  • ChromaDB
03

LLM fine-tuning

Adapt open-weight models with parameter-efficient training, task-specific evaluation, and quantized delivery.

  • Hugging Face
  • PEFT
  • TRL
  • LoRA / QLoRA
  • Qwen
  • Phi
04

Inference & platform

Run models through hosted APIs or self-hosted serving, integrated with production data and software.

  • vLLM
  • SGLang
  • llama.cpp
  • Python
  • FastAPI
  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis
  • Docker
  • n8n

Technology examples, not a fixed bill of materials. Model, framework, and hosting choices are scoped to each project.

Selected work

Real problems. Useful systems.

A few examples of the work Empyron has delivered across legal, e-commerce, and SaaS teams. Client names are omitted here.

01

Legal · Document intelligence

case files made searchable

Searches that took an afternoon now take seconds.

02

E-commerce · Operations

Take repetitive order work off the team.

n8n workflows for a Shopify brand handling 200+ orders a day, covering order validation, customer-notification triage, and inventory alerts.

A Stable Diffusion XL model fine-tuned on a fashion catalogue, delivered through a lightweight app for the client team.

Stable Diffusion XL · Gradio

Project outcome

60%

lower photoshoot costs

On-brand imagery generated from simple flat-lay photos.

04

SaaS · In-product assistant

Run a focused support assistant on modest hardware.

A fine-tuned Phi-3-mini assistant using product support material, quantized to run under 2 GB of VRAM for low-cost inference.

Phi-3-mini · 4-bit quantization

Project outcome

70%

of Tier-1 queries handled without escalation

A fine-tuned assistant deployed for a SaaS support workflow.

How we work

Clear steps. No black box.

The work is collaborative: we agree on the problem and scope first, then show progress as the system takes shape.

Start a conversation
  1. 01

    Understand the problem

    A free 30-minute call to understand the workflow, the data, and what a useful outcome would look like.

    First conversation

  2. 02

    Scope the work

    We define the deliverables, timeline, assumptions, and written scope before any build begins.

    Usually 2–3 days

  3. 03

    Build and review

    Short feedback cycles and regular demos keep the build aligned with the problem you need solved.

    Often 2–8 weeks

  4. 04

    Deploy and hand over

    We ship with documentation and a practical handoff, then agree what support makes sense for the system.

    Support by agreement

About Empyron

A small studio. Direct access to the builder.

Empyron Solutions is an independent AI and data engineering studio founded by Bhavya Shah. We work directly with startups and small businesses to solve practical problems with data, machine learning, and language models.

Before starting Empyron in 2024, Bhavya built production AI systems in enterprise settings. Today, he stays involved from the first scoping conversation through implementation and handoff — so the engineering stays connected to the problem.
