About Alp Yalay
Technical Producer, Full-Stack Web Engineer, and Game Localizer based in Istanbul.
Background & Philosophy
I operate at the intersection of software engineering, contemporary art production, and game localization. My work spans building responsive, high-performance web systems, deploying lightweight on-device AI models, and architecting headless e-commerce and content workflows.
With a foundation in Translation and Interpreting from Izmir University of Economics, I bring rigorous linguistic precision and cultural nuance to software development. Having localized acclaimed international titles like Battle Talent and Heroes of Hammerwatch 2, I also design and ship standalone software products including RealDex (an on-device AI wildlife collection app) and AutoTidy.
