Buyer–seller meetings are often why companies join a trade event. I build matchmaking engines that suggest matches, book meetings without double-booking and report on the results.
One engine I built runs the meetings for several events (a food show, a creative-industry market and a sustainability exchange) and has handled thousands of meetings between small businesses and trade buyers.
One clear goal with a written scope and a fixed quote before work starts. You see progress on a staging link every week.
A registration system for one event
A website or landing page
Fixing, upgrading or speeding up a Laravel app

Extra developer for your team
I join your team's repository, tools and meetings, and work through your backlog with your developers.

Questions clients ask
Can it work for both in-person and online meetings?
Yes. Meetings can be at a table on the show floor or online. Online consultations can be added to the staff's Google Calendar with a Meet link.
Can it connect to our existing registration?
Yes. It can import registrants or share the same accounts, so participants don't sign up twice.
How much does it cost to hire you?
It depends on the scope, so every project gets a written quote first. Send a short brief (it takes about 30 seconds) and I reply within one business day with questions or a quote. Retainers and team contracts are billed monthly.
Do you take small or short projects?
Yes. Fixes, upgrades, a single feature, a landing page or a registration form for one event are all welcome, as long as the goal is clear.
Can you work with us long term?
Yes. Most of my systems have run for years, and I still maintain them. Long-term work can be a phased build, a monthly retainer or a part-time or full-time contract on your team.
