Tulga Kalayci, MD, PhD
Co-Founder & COO
Tulga is a technology leader, software entrepreneur, and co‑founder.
After graduating from medical school and while getting a PhD in Biophysics, he also began his computing career working on AI‑driven signal analysis at the University of Miami’s Biomedical Engineering Department – experience that built deep expertise in algorithms, data‑intensive computing, and the design of robust, high‑performance systems. After his academic career, he advanced from software developer to CTO, leading cross‑functional teams to deliver real‑time control solutions and scalable enterprise platforms.
As one of the founders, Tulga drives the company’s technology strategy and execution. He works closely with executives and engineering leaders to align technology investments with business objectives through road map definition, architecture leadership, and modernization initiatives spanning cloud‑native platforms, data/AI integration, and API‑first enterprise design. He establishes pragmatic delivery frameworks—Agile and DevSecOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and SRE standards—while overseeing performance optimization, security hardening, vendor selection, and the turnaround of at‑risk programs. His leadership ranges from acting as fractional CTO for key accounts to hands‑on solution architecture and team enablement, always with a focus on measurable outcomes: faster time‑to‑market, improved reliability, and scalable, maintainable software that delivers lasting business value.
