Headless CMS Applications

ScreamingBox Technology & Business Rundown

Today we are talking with Andre Polesny, who is a Developer Evangelist at Content.AI, a large Headless CMS (Content Management System) platform. In this podcast, we not only explore what is a headless CMS, but also several business cases as to how to apply it to web development.

Ondrej started his career as a .Net developer at a digital agency in Austria, and a few years later joined the traditional CMS (Content Management System) company Kentico. As a consultant in the Customer Success Department, he soon discovered that he could talk to both business users and developers. He spent over four years, training developers, training business users and helping everyone to use the product to its full potential.

Later, he switched to a Developer Evangelism role and focused more on the developer side and to gather their feedback and learn how they use the system in order to feed back to the product teams so they could improve the product.

At that time, Kentico had two main product groups, the traditional CMS (renamed to Experience) and the new Headless CMS that was just being developed which was named Kontent. Ondrej then moved over to be the Developer Evangelist for the Kontent Headless CMS division. Recently, that division was spun off as the stand alone company Kontent.AI - https://kontent.ai/
