ABOUT ME · VEDAT EGE · FOUNDER OF THE BARK

I've been building digital systems since I was 14 — bringing that expertise to THE BARK.

I was born in 1989 in Muş — a remote town in eastern Turkey. My first computer was a Windows 95 machine in third grade. That moment defined my life.

I later moved to İzmir to continue school and truly learn programming. Understanding and building the digital world was always more than a profession for me. I sacrificed a great deal for it.

Life led me in other directions for over a decade. But the fascination never left me. In 2019 I came to Germany — and started building again.

Today I work on over ten global projects from Oberhausen. Not because it's a business model. Because I firmly believe: SMEs deserve their own digital infrastructure — no dependency on Big Tech. That is THE BARK.

Founder's Story

Since the age of 14 — for 23 years — I have been building digital systems.

— Vedat EGE

I first encountered a computer at age 11 in third grade. My first programming experience came in the first year of high school in Izmir — entirely self-taught.

I advanced through the digital world without limits. From firewall development to web coding, from design to system architecture: Python, CSS, HTML, C#, C++, C, Java and JSON — at expert level. I built the software I imagined.

I have seen too many companies dependent on major technology platforms — and paying the price: licensing costs, no control over their data, systems that do not fit real business processes. German SMEs carry the substance, competence and discipline to build their own digital infrastructure. What is often missing is the right partner.

What makes me different.

30 Years of Craft

Programming is not a trend for me — it's a lifelong discipline, since I was 14 years old — for 23 years.

Four Languages, Two Worlds

German, English, Turkish and Kurdish. I understand not only code, but also the people behind it — in both cultural spaces.

Bridge between DACH and Turkey

German precision meets Turkish entrepreneurial culture. For companies growing in both directions, I am more than a service provider: I am a bridge builder.

Vision

Where all of this leads.

I am deeply optimistic about the future. Technology is not an end in itself — it is the tool with which civilisations reach the next level. Every company that builds its digital foundation correctly today will be part of that future.

THE BARK exists so that the German Mittelstand is part of it. Not as a spectator, but as a shaper.

Why THE BARK

Why I founded THE BARK.

I have seen too many companies dependent on Big Tech platforms — paying a high price for it: licence costs, lack of control over their own data, systems that don't fit real processes.

The German Mittelstand has the substance, the competence and the discipline to build its own digital infrastructure. What is often missing is simply the right partner — one who listens, builds tailored solutions and takes real responsibility. That is the role THE BARK assumes.
