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.
