Eyüp Türkay

Senior Software & AI Engineer

I've spent 30 years building enterprise systems — from Istanbul's transit payment network to engineering teams at Deutsche Telekom Slovakia. Today I work independently, so you deal directly with the senior engineer who builds your system.

My Journey

Started in software

First steps in software engineering in Turkey, on enterprise projects.

Independent practice

Working independently as TURKAY: software, AI and automation for B2B teams across Central Europe, with a trusted partner network when projects need scale.

Why Independent

TURKAY is my independent practice, based in Bratislava. After 30 years building enterprise systems across several countries, I now work directly with B2B teams across Central Europe — and bring in a trusted partner network when a project needs scale.

Most SMBs face a bad choice: agencies that are expensive and deliver through junior hands, or freelancers who lack the depth for serious systems. I've spent my career on the enterprise side of that gap, so smaller teams can finally access enterprise-grade engineering without the agency layer.

You work directly with me — the person who actually builds the system — and I stay responsible for the outcome from first call to delivery.
