Hasan Aker
Chief Executive Officer
Biography
Hasan Aker is a technology entrepreneur who believes that versatility is not merely a skill, but a way of life. When he first encountered a computer at age seven, it was not a toy—it was the key to discovery.
At nine years old, he became involved in Turkey's Metin2 Online community structure, gaining early exposure to concepts like system administration, data structures, and game economics. During this period, he built his own servers, prepared mod packages, developed web interfaces, and managed advertising processes. These early steps laid the foundation for the technical discipline and engineering vision he possesses today.
Over time, he progressed through diverse fields including gaming, design, media, software, and artificial intelligence—yet he unified all these elements under one roof: creating. For him, technology was never just a career—it was life itself.
Today, Hasan Aker is a founder who has established over 60 ventures, touched hundreds of brands, and developed systems reaching thousands of users. Throughout his journey, he has learned to think as aesthetically as a designer, as technically as an engineer, and as strategically as a marketer. In every project, he centers the question: "how can I make this better?" He grows not only through successes, but through every attempt.
Technology & Artificial Intelligence
Hasan Aker's technical expertise extends far beyond that of a conventional software developer. For years, he has conducted research and production in areas including artificial intelligence, machine learning, system architecture, and big data management.
As co-founder of HSD Core Labs, he leads one of Turkey's pioneering private ventures developing its own artificial intelligence infrastructure. The Clinisyn project developed under this structure provides AI-based data analysis, sentiment detection, and session management systems in the field of psychology. This platform emerged not from ready-made AI services, but from HSD Core Labs' proprietary model training pipeline.
Hasan Aker has evolved from merely using artificial intelligence to producing, training, and customizing it. Today, he manages the technical architecture of a system that trains its own models on private GPU clusters. He views artificial intelligence not as a tool, but as a new form of human potential.
