01 · The problem
In 2020, every event had to move online.
Organisers needed more than a video call: networking, a backstage for speakers, audience interaction and ticketing, all in one place.
02 · What I built
Everything an event needs, online.
Breakout rooms
Attendees split off to network, with call and chat.
Live backstage
A private space for organisers and speakers before they go live.
Live polls
Audience polls during sessions.
Social streaming
Stream sessions live to social media.
Organiser dashboard
Manage events, attendee chat and Stripe payments.
03 · Key decisions
Built in months, not years.
One platform, end to end
Video, networking, backstage, polls, streaming and payments were built as one product.
Hands-on CTO
I led the technology and wrote the code for the full web app.
