+We are pleased to announce the April 2024 event for PHP North East, “Building SaaS: Good practices and pitfalls” by Peter Houghton.
+
+It’s natural to prioritise feature delivery and concentrate on your product’s unique selling proposition (USP), but aspects of your application like data management, security, and scaling can often be overlooked.
+
+In this talk, Peter will share practical advice and highlight real-world pitfalls encountered while building the Wordnerds Platform over the past five years.
+
+Peter is the Head of Engineering at Wordnerds, a venture capital-backed tech startup based in Gateshead.
+
