Meet Our Leadership Team

Ant Media was built by people who believed that reliable, real-time streaming infrastructure should be accessible to anyone with something worth streaming. Across more than two decades of combined experience in streaming infrastructure, enterprise technology, defence engineering, and brand strategy, this team shares one belief: real impact comes from walking alongside the people you serve.

Ahmet Oguz Mermerkaya
CEO & Co-Founder
Ahmet co-founded Ant Media after spending seven years in Turkey's defence industry and establishing himself as one of the country's earliest voices in mobile development. He authored the first Turkish book on Android Application Programming, founded Android Developer Days, and grew it into a national conference with 2,000 attendees and sponsors including Google and Sony. At Ant Media, he closed the company's first enterprise deal with Sony in Tokyo while operating as a small team in Ankara. That moment set the tone. He leads with the belief that ordinary people build extraordinary things when given the right foundation.

CTO & Co-Founder
Burak has been writing software for 19 years, starting with large-scale defence projects before co-founding Ant Media. He has built the server's core protocols, interfaces, and SDKs from the ground up, and still gets personally involved when a user hits a problem that needs solving. His current focus is turning Ant Media Server into a true ecosystem that developers and platform builders can extend and build on, with particular interest in AI systems that can see, listen to, and act on live video streams in real time.

Over seven years he has worked across operations, infrastructure, and customer success, never staying in one lane. He is currently focused on the next evolution of streaming, where flat video gives way to spatial, immersive experiences that users participate in rather than passively watch.
