Ege Kalay
Full-Stack Developer

I build production software across the whole stack — IoT dashboards, digital twins, AI-powered tools, and games. Based in Turkey, working across industries.

Who I am

I'm a software developer based in Turkey. I've spent the last few years building things across a pretty wide range — industrial IoT, Unity-based digital twin platforms, full-stack web apps, and two PC games I shipped on Steam.

I started at ONO Technology as an intern in 2019 and ended up leading development on AR/VR visualisation tools and an AI assistant platform for manufacturing clients. Between 2021 and 2023 I went full-time on game development, which taught me more about shipping complete products than anything else.

Right now I'm doing freelance work and building Vigla Home on the side — a smart home dashboard running on a Raspberry Pi 5 that I'm eventually planning to pilot in factory environments.

I like working on things that are technically interesting and actually used by people.
