'der Experte' and 'der Expert' basically mean the same thing: a person with a lot of specialized knowledge in a particular field. The important difference is in usage. 'Experte' is the normal German form and sounds natural in almost all situations. 'Expert' is a rarer form influenced by English and is more likely to appear in certain modern or advertising-related contexts. Learners may confuse the words because they look almost the same.
