About Me

Hello there! I'm Ertaç Paprat. My journey has been one fueled by an insatiable curiosity. It began with a dive into the worlds of physics and economics, earning Bachelor's degrees in both. But my fascination didn't stop there; I soon found myself captivated by computer science. This led me to pursue and achieve an MSc in Computer Sciences, where my work included "Introducing turkish polarity corpus and a method for sentiment analysis in Turkish." I even started a PhD before the irresistible allure of the startup world pulled me in.

These days, I wear multiple hats as an Entrepreneur, a Full-Stack Developer, and an AI enthusiast with an MSc in Artificial Intelligence. You'll often find me exploring the exciting intersections of AI, Machine Learning (ML), computational linguistics, cognitive science, finance, and the dynamic startup scene. My professional path has seen me grow from a Web Developer at various boutique agencies, where I designed and built client websites, to a Solution Architect at different solution providers, designing scalable IT solutions for major Turkish banks.

In 2015, I took the entrepreneurial leap and founded Indisera Technology, I focus on delivering cutting-edge software solutions, specializing in Text Analytics, NLP, and AI-driven products, and leading R&D in machine learning. This venture, along with achievements like the Techno-Entrepreneurship Grant from the Ministry of Industry and Technology and the Grand Prize from TEB Paribas - METU, are milestones in this ongoing adventure.

Beyond the formal titles, I'm a dedicated and results-driven professional with a strong background in project coordination and problem-solving. I thrive on adapting to new environments, collaborating with diverse teams, and tackling challenges head-on, especially under tight deadlines. I'm a big fan of tinkering, always exploring new projects, and wholeheartedly embracing the indie hacker spirit.

My passion for continuous learning keeps me on the lookout for innovative solutions and the latest industry trends. It turns out, an insatiable curiosity can indeed take you anywhere, and I'm excited to see where it leads next.
