Project Summary

Sloboda built a Ruby on Rails event management platform with e-commerce/ticketing features for a company that organizes IT conferences in Ukraine and Belarus. They implemented the web interface from the client's designs, provided development and technical consultation, and are developing a mobile version. The client praised the assigned developer's responsiveness and the platform's reliability, noting generally on-budget delivery and supportive project management via Scrum.

Key Challenges

Manage participants lists, scheduling, and staff for conferences
Enable ticket sales and implement payment processing to avoid 7%–10% third-party fees
Ensure platform reliability for large events to avoid catastrophic failures of third-party systems

Project Solution
