Summary
Florian Felten is a software engineer and entrepreneur with 11 years of experience combining academic rigor in AI with practical product delivery. He holds a PhD in Artificial Intelligence focused on Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning—work that earned top thesis awards—and has translated that expertise into ML-for-design research at ETH Zürich and agentic-era work as Co-Founder of Hervé. Florian co-founded two startups, leading product, architecture and stakeholder delivery for optimization and feedback-AI products, and has hands-on full-stack and technical lead experience from N-SIDE. He contributes research and open-source Multi-Objective RL work at Farama-Foundation and IDEAL Lab, bridging cutting-edge RL research with usable tooling. Based in Brussels, he teaches and mentors across university and industry settings, with a knack for turning complex optimization problems into practical, deployable systems. An unusual strength is his blend of deep RL theory and product-focused PR review practices that prioritize conversational context over raw diffs.
