AI Engineer - Risma Systems
I design and build local-first AI tools, from RAG-enabled assistants to document intelligence workflows that teams can run securely on their own infrastructure.

Martin Karlik
I am Martin - an engineer working across AI systems, backend architecture, and app development. I care about solutions that survive contact with real users, and I enjoy building things that are both practical and a little surprising.
See selected projectsMy Work
A few chapters from my recent work in software engineering, AI, and startup execution.
Software Engineer - Capture One
I worked on macOS and iOS product experiences in Swift and Objective-C, helping ship reliable tooling for professionals who care about speed, precision, and quality.
Capture OneLead Backend Developer - Rapidcreative.io
In a four-person startup team, I led backend and platform work for AI-assisted video ad generation, balancing fast iteration with production-minded architecture.
RapidcreativeShowcase
A mix of technical, research, and non-technical work. This site is not a resume clone; it is a map of what I like to build.
Technical
Local AI Contract Analyst
A privacy-first contract scanner that combines retrieval pipelines with pragmatic UX for legal and compliance teams.
Research
Image Aesthetics Explainability
Research project focused on making image quality predictions understandable, not just accurate.
Creative Tech
GPU Shader Styling for Mixed Reality
Visual experiments that treat performance and artistic direction as equal constraints.
Hobby
Soup Notebook
A growing personal archive of soups, variants, and tasting notes; half kitchen log, half field research.
Writing
Walking the Shadow
Published poetry collection exploring quiet tension, transitions, and small moments that stick.
Community
Volunteering in Kathmandu
Teaching math and programming while learning how to explain difficult ideas with less jargon and more empathy.
My Skills
Broad enough to ship full products, focused enough to stay useful under constraints.
AI Systems
I build practical AI products end to end: data pipelines, model integration, evaluation loops, and deployment strategies that teams can maintain.
Backend and Product Engineering
From early prototypes to production services, I prioritize clear architecture, observability, and sustainable development speed.
App Development
Experienced in Apple platform development and cross-functional product delivery where polish and reliability both matter.
Creative Discipline
I like projects that blend technical depth with human expression, whether that means poetry, design decisions, or a very serious soup experiment.
