Kevin Gonnord is a seasoned full-stack engineer and entrepreneur with 11 years of experience building and scaling B2B platforms from Paris. As Co-Founder and Founding Engineer at Kaiten he’s focused on decoupling business logic from codebases—building an open-source SaaS control plane that unifies entitlements, feature flags, and metering with low-latency developer experience in mind. His background spans hands-on front-end and PHP web development through roles at Meetic, DataGalaxy and public-sector projects, giving him a practical appreciation for both product-facing UX and backend reliability. Kevin moves fluidly between shipping customer-facing features and designing architecture for observability and billing integrations like Stripe or Lago. He favors pragmatic, reusable infrastructure over bespoke "if/else" solutions, and is currently building Kaiten in public during its Early Access phase. Based in Île‑de‑France, he combines startup grit with a decade of production experience and a habit of turning recurring engineering pain points into platform-level solutions.
