Who we are
Runyon Solutions brings together decades of real-world software, AI and biometric implementation experience from the most demanding environments in government, defense, and criminal justice. Our team has not only built and deployed AI and biometric systems at scale—we've also stood in courtrooms to explain their capabilities, limitations, and proper use.
What Sets us Apart
Deep Technical Foundation: Our leadership includes former NSA applied research mathematicians and principal engineers who have developed government-owned biometric algorithms, including iris recognition systems. We've designed and operated distributed data platforms for the Department of Homeland Security and National Security Agency's biometric testing programs, giving us unique insight into what actually works versus vendor marketing claims.
Proven Enterprise Scale: Our team has built companies delivering AI and biometric solutions valued at over $200M, successfully implementing identity management systems across the Department of Defense and other federal agencies. We understand the complexities of enterprise-wide deployments, from technical architecture to organizational change management.
Courtroom-Tested Credibility: As expert witnesses in criminal cases involving facial recognition and other biometric technologies, we've provided testimony that judges and juries can understand and trust. Our experience presenting at venues like the Maryland Office of the Public Defender's Annual Justice Conference ensures we can communicate complex technical concepts clearly to any audience.
Vendor-Independent Perspective: Having worked with and evaluated virtually every major biometric system through our involvement with the Maryland Test Facility (MDTF), we provide truly unbiased recommendations. Our allegiance is to scientific accuracy and our clients' success—not to any technology vendor.
Our Unique Value
We bridge the gap between theoretical capabilities and practical implementation, between vendor promises and legal requirements, between technical excellence and business reality. Whether you need expert testimony to challenge questionable biometric evidence, guidance on enterprise-wide identity system deployment, or assurance that your implementation meets regulatory requirements, we bring the rare combination of mathematical rigor, operational experience, and legal credibility your organization needs.
Our experience spans from developing algorithms in classified environments to defending citizens' rights in public courtrooms—giving us an unmatched perspective on both the power and the responsibilities that come with biometric technology.
