Ece Kural, PhD
- Insights team lead at Lovable
- Co-founder of Scrintal and Gobu
I'm a scientist and a founder. Now I work somewhere between the two.
At Lovable, my work spans data science and user research. I lead the insights team, where we build systems that answer our most critical questions and show the company where the opportunities are.
Before Lovable, I co-founded Scrintal and Gobu. Scrintal is a visual workspace where ideas are built on a canvas instead of filed into folders. Gobu is an AI research assistant where every claim can be traced back to its source.
Before building software, I was a political scientist. I did my PhD at Stockholm University on how international organisations respond to climate change, after an MSc in political science at Uppsala University.
None of this was planned in advance.
The publications and data are on the research page. The longer story is on the about page.
