Kai Koenig

Kai Koenig

Software Architect and Engineering Lead with 20+ years building and scaling web and mobile platforms. I specialise in JVM-based backend systems, mobile development (Android, Flutter), and the architecture that connects them.

Most recently, I led the architectural transition of a global online dating platform from legacy monoliths to .NET microservices with React frontends, while continuing to operate the existing JVM-based API platform serving over 1 billion interactions per month. I also introduced an AI-assisted software engineering program, integrating tools like Cursor and AI agents into team workflows. I lead distributed engineering teams, own DevOps pipelines, and bridge the gap between product strategy and technical execution.

My work spans hands-on development, system design, and team leadership, often all three simultaneously. I'm equally comfortable debugging a race condition in production, designing a multi-region deployment strategy, or mentoring engineers through a complex refactor.

I run my consulting practice through Ventego Creative, which has allowed me to work with organisations ranging from startups to enterprises including Vodafone, Citibank, Siemens, Cupid Media, Raygun, and DistroKid. I also maintain several open-source SDKs (Android, Flutter, Ruby, Python, Node) for Raygun's error tracking platform.

Beyond client work, I'm an active conference speaker (Droidcon, Android Makers, CFCamp, and others), a technology writer for European IT publications, and have been co-organising community meetup groups since the start of my career. I hold a Master's degree in Mathematics and Computer Science and am currently pursuing a Master's in Data Science.

Keil Wilson (k-EYE-ill or kile) has a long and varied IT background and has seen many of the challenges IT organizations face firsthand.

Looking for better alternatives to the traditional planning and estimating approaches taught by "professors and professionals," he turned to the Manifesto for Agile Software Development. The result was happier customers, more engaged teams, and quality products/projects delivered and refined frequently.

Since that shift to agile development, Keil has spent years building agile teams that use iterative delivery and feedback to provide timely, valuable IT products and services for organizations of all sizes. He is a certified agile coach, agile leader, and Scrum Master who helps teams, clients, and customers reach their goals using agile principles and practices.
