A. Anil Sinaci

I am a software engineer and computer scientist with 15+ years of development experience ranging from desktop, web and mobile applications to cutting-edge research projects. I am a principal solutions architect and senior researcher at SRDC Corp. I make hiring decisions, build and manage teams, lead engineering decisions, and deliver software: products and services for customers, and solutions for research projects. I work as a part-time instructor at METU-CENG.

I hold a PhD in computer science/engineering since 2014. I actively worked for many large-scale, international R&D projects at different stages such as creating ideas/innovation, compiling the project proposals, designing and implementing the solutions, and leading/managing scientific and technical teams. I authored many papers published in peer-reviewed journals and conferences.

I contribute to open-source software development, I became an Apache committer with the (retired) Apache Stanbol project. I maintain the source codes of the research projects that I lead on GitHub. I contribute to standardization activities. In the past, I worked as a member of the technical and planning committees of IHE QRPH. I am the leading editor of the ISO/IEC DEX standard.

Education

A lifelong learner
2009 - 2014
Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey

Ph.D. in Computer Engineering

The title of my PhD dissertation is Data Interoperability Through Federated Semantic Metadata Registries. During my PhD studies, I designed and implemented a novel interoperability architecture based on the concept of Common Data Elements while utilizing the semantic web technologies and Linked Data principles.

Data interoperability is a hindering challenge for many domains as such in eHealth and eBusiness applications where valuable data is kept in different silos and applications try to make use of those disparate datasets for various use-cases. Associated IT communities are trying to find new ways for interoperability and publishing domain-specific Common Data Elements is one of those abstract solutions to alleviate the pain: defining abstract metadata definitions for data items to be exchanged or collaboratively processed. I proposed a solution for this problem of data interoperability based on federated use of metadata registries utilizing Semantic Web and Linked Data technologies. My related publication received 67 citations so far.

I pursued my work under great coordination of my lovely supervisor, Prof. Dr. Nihan Kesim Cicekli. My studies led to the development of a new profile, named Data Element Exchange, under Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise. Later on, based on this idea, I co-authored a new ISO/IEC standard.

2007 - 2009
Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey

MSc. in Computer Engineering

The title of my MSc thesis is A Conformance and Interoperability Test Suite For Turkey's National Health Information System and An Interactive Test Control and Monitoring Environment. The first version of Turkey's National Health Information System (NHIS) was based on HL7 standards. Clients such as the hospital information systems continuously submitted medical data through this system to the central web services. During my masters studies, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Asuman Dogac, I built a testing environment so that the clients can test themselves in terms of conformance and interoperability with respect to the standards used in various layers of the web service communication.

2003 - 2007
Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey

BSc. in Computer Engineering

During my undergraduate education, in addition to the core/must courses of the department on Data Structures, Algorithms, Programming Language Concepts, Operating Systems etc., I took several technical elective courses such as Artificial Intelligence, Language Processors, Database Management Systems and Introduction to Bioinformatics. I will always remember the programming assignments, group projects and long and sleepless nights at the laboratories.

1996 - 2003
Icel Anatolian High School, Mersin, Turkey

High School - Science Diploma

From age 11 to 18, more than 7 years at the beautiful campus of my high school by the sea side. Lots of memories, I grew up there...

Experience

15 years of experience
2011 - Current
SRDC Software Research & Development and Consultancy Corporation, Ankara, Turkey

Principal Solutions Architect, Senior Researcher

SRDC turned into a successful, R&D oriented tech company. Growing together with the company, I sharpened my skills by continuously learning from many challenging tasks. I acted as a senior software engineer, senior researcher and lately principal solution architect.

2016 - 2020
Department of Computer Engineering, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey

Instructor

Alongside my full-time job at SRDC, I worked as a course instructor at the Department of Computer Engineering offering the following courses:

Here is a slide deck that I prepared for one lesson of Ceng 229 from Fall 2018:

2009 - 2011
Department of Computer Engineering, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey

Teaching Assistant

During the 2 years (4 semesters) at the Department of Computer Engineering, I worked as a teaching assistant; lectured the laboratory sessions and recitations, and prepared and evaluated many programming assignments.

Here are two programming assignments that I prepared for the undergraduate students:

Here is the list of the courses that I worked for:

2010 - 2011
Cengsoft, Ankara, Turkey

R&D Consultant

While I was a teaching assistant at the Department of Computer Engineering, I worked as a technical consultant to support the product development of CengSOFT Ltd. (later, became a part of SOMERA). We used Apache Struts to build a web application and I mainly took part in the back-end development.

2009 - 2010
AGMLab Information Technologies, Ankara, Turkey

R&D Consultant

While I was a teaching assistant at the Department of Computer Engineering, I worked as an academic R&D consultant to support AGMLab's international research project called SEMbySEM. I contributed to the arhictecture design and semantic modeling of large system services and their dynamic integration to support interoperability of services on the fly.

2007 - 2009
Software Research Development Center, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey

Software Engineer, Researcher

After graduation, I started working as a full-time software engineer at SRDC. I had the chance of being a key member of the TestBATN project where I designed the API, developed its back-end and the web front-end so that the end-users can interact with the testing engine. I implemented various networking standards in the back-end, and developed a rich internet application with Adobe Flex (Apache Flex) which was very exciting back then 😉 I remember that after very long discussions, we even implemented our own version of WebSocket using Adobe Flash. My first full-time job was extremely educational and pragmatic for me.

2006 - 2007
Software Research Development Center, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey

Part-time Software Developer

After successfully completing my summer practice at SRDC, I was offered a part-time job. I worked as a software developer to support the ongoing R&D projects which were mainly on service-oriented architectures, peer-to-peer communication and databases.

Mountaineering

I love outdoor activities

I have always be in sportive activities since my childhood. During my universtiy years, I became a fond of outdoor sports when I attended the Mountaineering and Winter Sports Club. Along with a very well-formulated theoretical and practical education on mountaineering, I went to many camping activity and climbed several mountains in Turkey.

Below, I put some pictures of mine from the lovely Aladaglar which can be considered as the temple of mountaineering in Turkey.

I am a member of the Middle East Search-Rescue, Mountaineering, and Outdoor Sports Association (ORDOS) which was founded in 1994 by the alumni of Middle East Technical University Mountaineering and Winter Sports Club. I served in the board of ORDOS for 4 years and I was the president for 2 years.

As ORDOS, since 2015, we organize the Aladaglar Skytrail trail run on diffrerent routes. Aladaglar Skytrail provides ITRA accredited trail races. I served in the race preparation committee for 2 years where I acted as technical coordinator and race coordinator, consecutively. I put two pictures below where I wish luck to my brother who was a runner at Skytrail and giving the awards to the winners. More pictures can be found on the Instagram of Aladaglar Skytrail.
