Summary
Erkan Alkanat is a seasoned mobile engineering leader with over 18 years in software development and more than five years managing cross-functional teams that shipped mobile products downloaded by millions. He has led mobile strategy and delivery for major Turkish brands (Digiturk/beIN, Yemeksepeti) and global projects like FIFA World Cup features at Deltatre, spanning Android, iOS, TV and VR platforms. Comfortable toggling between hands-on development (Flutter, Kotlin, Jetpack Compose) and product strategy, he’s built low-latency OTT and VR streaming experiences with custom DRM and analytics integrations. Now self-employed in the UK, he consults on generative AI, mobile solutions and cloud migrations—maintaining a 19-year-old website he rebuilt on AWS and publishing handy Flutter apps including an amateur radio and Morse utility. He combines agile team coaching with deep streaming and mobile-UX know-how, and quietly contributes novel ideas such as a "Brightness Method" for QR styling. Erkan’s background in electronics and business administration gives him a practical systems view that helps bridge technical execution and product outcomes.
