The studio
Fifteen specialists. Five practices.
A fifteen-strong team of engineers, researchers and designers, organised into five practices and equipped to take a product from first principles to production. Every engagement is led by people who have built one like it before.
ArcTorque was incorporated in 2026, but the work started in 2021 — in a university lab, on problems nobody had assigned us. Eleven platforms now run in production across steel fabrication, luxury retail, professional education and capital markets, and five inventions went far enough to be worth patenting.
Today we are eighteen — engineers, researchers and designers across five practices, with the lab hardware, security tooling and cloud infrastructure to take a product from first principles to production without subcontracting the hard parts.
Leadership

Muhammed Riyaz S
Co-founder · Security Engineering & Product · he/him
Riyaz works in offensive security professionally — currently as a Cyber Security Expert at Uber AI Solutions — and brings that posture to everything ArcTorque ships. Threat modelling happens at architecture, not at launch.
He led the Cyber Security department at the Microsoft Innovations Club at VIT Chennai and has been running live demonstrations of hardware and wireless attack surfaces since 2023 — SDR-based key fob capture, walkie-talkie interception, mobile exploitation — always in a teaching context, always to make the case for better defaults.
He is a named inventor on the pipeline inspection and AR rescue helmet patents, and holds twenty security certifications.

Srinath Selvakumar
Co-founder · AI/ML & Research · he/him
Srinath builds intelligent systems for environments where being approximately right is not good enough — clinical monitoring, emergency response, threat detection. He architected the AI inside the AR rescue helmet patent: an ensemble survival-probability model for mass-casualty triage, YOLOv8 and DeepSORT victim tracking, and a real-time pathfinder that replans as a structure changes.
At Uber AI Solutions he works on email threat detection and classification, labelling adversarial real-world datasets to roughly 97% accuracy under strict protocol — the unglamorous foundation that decides whether a security model works at all.
He released NexusRAG open source: an enterprise retrieval engine benchmarked at 100% factual accuracy and 100% hallucination resistance across 150 questions, running on a single 4 GB machine at zero infrastructure cost.

Practices
Five practices, one team.
- 01
Product Engineering
Full platforms, shipped and maintained.
Web and mobile products built to survive real traffic — architecture, implementation, deployment and the unglamorous work of keeping them running afterwards.
- B2B SaaS platforms
- Progressive web applications
- Mobile applications
- API and systems architecture
- Cloud infrastructure
- 02
AI & Machine Learning
Models that hold up outside the notebook.
Retrieval systems, agentic architectures and predictive models built with evaluation harnesses from day one — because a model without a benchmark is a guess.
- Retrieval-augmented generation
- Agentic systems and tool use
- Computer vision pipelines
- Predictive and ensemble modelling
- Evaluation and guardrails
- 03
Security Engineering
Built by people who break things professionally.
Offensive-security experience applied from the first architecture decision rather than bolted on before launch. Penetration testing, threat modelling, and hardening.
- Application penetration testing
- Mobile application security
- Threat modelling
- Secure architecture review
- ML threat detection
- 04
IP & Patent Strategy
From idea to filed application.
We have taken five of our own inventions through Indian patent prosecution. We help founders and researchers do the same — prior-art landscape, inventive disclosure, and filing.
- Prior-art and landscape analysis
- Inventive disclosure drafting
- Patent filing coordination
- Technical specification
- Prototype-to-claim mapping
- 05
Research & Development
Hardware and clinical systems.
Applied R&D with hospitals and clinical partners — wearable monitoring, sensor fusion and embedded intelligence for environments where failure is not recoverable.
- Wearable and embedded systems
- Sensor fusion
- Clinical device prototyping
- Robotics and inspection systems
- Edge AI
How we work
- 01
Senior throughout
No account layer, no junior bench, no handoff after the pitch. The people in the room at the start are the people who write the code, file the patents and answer the phone at midnight.
- 02
Evidence before assertion
Models arrive with benchmarks. Security work arrives with findings. Patents arrive with prior-art analysis. If we cannot show you the measurement, we will not make the claim.
- 03
Built to be handed over
Documented, conventional, and legible to whoever maintains it next — including a team that is not us. Nothing is engineered to make you dependent.
- 04
We answer the phone
The people who wrote the code are the people who respond when something breaks at an inconvenient hour.
