👋 01 · About

Günal Hınçal

I'm an AI-focused Business Analyst and data professional with hands-on experience in Generative AI solutions, LLM-based pipelines and analytical products. My work spans RAG architectures, multi-agent systems, prompt design and API integration — combined with strong business-analysis skills: requirements definition, stakeholder alignment and governance-aligned delivery.

I'm currently contributing to GenAI product initiatives at Akbank, translating complex business requirements into AI-powered workflows. On the side, I'm building GunAI Solutions, a B2B AI automation service targeting the Gulf market, and I publish technical content on AI and LLM systems on Medium and LinkedIn.

Across close to 7 years of professional experience — including a strong presence in the Gulf and Qatar market — I've learned that staying relevant means staying curious. My real passion is researching, learning and living inside the technology: constantly adapting to every newly released tool and turning it into something useful for real businesses.
