Founder
Kanaka Kishore Kandregula
Founder & Principal Engineer · 4K Technologies Ltd
Kishore is an Adobe Commerce Certified engineer with 10+ years building and scaling Magento 2 storefronts for merchants across the UK, EU, and US. He founded 4K Technologies after a decade inside eCommerce engineering — first as a developer, then as a tech lead — and built Magekwik and Idea89 from problems he saw merchants hit again and again.
Over the past year he's also become a published n8n workflow creator, releasing automation templates that ship the same fixes he writes for paying clients. He still writes code on every project. The buck stops at his desk.
FAQ
The questions merchants ask before they get in touch.
How quickly do you reply to a new enquiry?
Within one working day. UK office hours, but we read email outside them too. Emergencies — site down, checkout broken, payments failing — get a same-day reply.
Do you take small one-off jobs, or only retainers?
Both. The smallest job is a free one-hour service via Magekwik. We work hourly, on retainer, or on fixed-scope quotes — whichever fits the work.
Can we use you as our backend dev team on a zero-hours basis?
Yes. Several merchants run us this way — we're their on-tap backend engineering bench, billed only for the hours we work. No monthly minimum, no retainer floor. You still get a continuity engineer who learns your codebase, priority response, and the same Adobe Commerce Certified work — without committing to a fixed monthly spend. Works well for stores that need consistent senior help but aren't ready to hire full-time.
Do you support older Magento (1.x or 2.3)?
Yes. We support Magento 2.3+ for ongoing work, do security backports for 2.2 / 2.1 if you cannot upgrade yet, and plan Magento 1 → Magento 2 migrations end-to-end.
Where are you based and where can you work?
Manchester, UK. We work with merchants across the UK, EU, US, UAE, India, and Australia. All work and source code stays inside our team — no offshore handoffs.
Who owns the code you write?
You do. All code we write for a client engagement is yours on delivery. Public Magekwik extensions stay maintained by us so the whole Magento community benefits.
