Senior🎓
Top SchoolErsin Akinci is a founder and full‑stack engineer with 11 years of experience building product-first startups and developer tooling, currently focused on automating bookkeeping for solopreneurs with AI at Kumbara. He blends systems-level technical depth (React, Node, Rails, ReScript, Postgres, big‑data visualization, C/C++) with research‑minded thinking rooted in humanities and medieval history, a background that shapes his interest in technology’s ethical and emotional impact. Past roles span security research for consumer-rights litigation to leading engineering at Instacart and launching multiple consultancies and products, demonstrating an ability to ship end-to-end systems and scale teams. Ersin is drawn to projects that redistribute power—combining empathy, mental‑health awareness, and hard engineering—and is actively seeking cofounders, operators, and investors who share that mission.
