RLVR Agentic AI LLM Post-Training Python Ex-Founder

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. Most recently: RLVR - Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards - the post-training method behind today’s frontier models.

Who I am

I’m a Staff Software Engineer specializing in system design, integration architecture, and AI-driven platforms - SaaS, ML, and large-scale API systems built to last, not prototypes. I’ve also been on the founding side: co-founded get.chat and sold the company in 2024.

My AI work predates the LLM era. Today I work on both sides of the model: production automation on agentic AI and LLM APIs (Claude, GPT, Gemini), and RLVR post-training - designing training data and benchmark tasks that push state-of-the-art models.

I own architectural decisions end-to-end, from scoping to long-term maintenance. I work best when given real responsibility and a problem worth solving.
