Emrecan Ozturk — Mobile Architect

About

Architecting Mobile
Platforms at Scale

Over 15 years designing, architecting, and shipping iOS, Android, and Flutter applications across three continents. From building the investment module inside Akbank — Turkey's Euromoney award-winning digital bank — to leading the Flutter team delivering BISB's Islamic banking platform in Bahrain.

As a Mobile Architect, Team Lead, and Line Manager, I've grown cross-functional native and cross-platform teams, defined architecture standards, and delivered regulated fintech products across Turkey, Bahrain, the UAE, USA, UK, India, and Canada. Currently open to new challenges — remote or on-site, domestic or international.
