Konrad Talik
Staff Software Engineer with a founder’s perspective
I design and build production systems end-to-end - architecture, implementation, and long-term ownership. I know what it takes to ship from zero to exit because I’ve done it. Currently available for senior IC and freelance engagements.
About
Who I am
I’m a Staff Software Engineer specializing in system design, integration architecture, and AI-driven platforms. My background spans SaaS, ML, and large-scale API systems built to last - not prototypes. I’ve also been on the founding side: co-founded get.chat, took it from idea to production, and sold the company in 2024. That experience sharpens how I approach technical decisions at every stage.
My AI work predates the LLM era - I’ve built recommendation systems, neural networks, and genetic algorithms from the ground up. Today I work with agentic AI and LLM APIs (Claude, GPT, Gemini) to build practical, production-grade automation.
I own architectural decisions end-to-end: from scoping and design through to delivery and long-term maintenance. I work best when given real responsibility and a problem worth solving.
