I'm Lee Matthew Jackson

I build digital products that make complicated work simpler.

My main focus is Event Engine, the platform I co-founded to help conference and exhibition organisers create, manage and grow their event websites.

I also write about technology, business, creativity and building a more intentional life.

Husband, dad, lifelong tinkerer and collector of old technology. Usually found building something, writing something, or wondering whether a perfectly good computer really needed replacing.

Thoughts from my work and life, including digital products, running a company, old technology and finding a healthier relationship with the online world.

I taught myself to code from books borrowed from the library and began building websites during the early days of the commercial internet.

Heh… My curiosity became my career. I worked with small businesses, built an agency, failed a lot, survived and along the way co-founded Event Engine.

Over the years, I have created websites, podcasts, tools, systems and content for organisations across several industries. I have learned that I do my best work when I can focus deeply on solving one meaningful problem rather than spreading myself across countless projects.

Today, that focus is Event Engine.

We help professional conference and exhibition organisers manage large portfolios of event websites using a platform designed specifically for the way their teams work.

Alongside that, I continue to write, record and explore ideas around technology, business and living more intentionally.

I am still curious, still building and still learning. I am simply becoming much more selective about what deserves my attention.

My commercial focus is Event Engine. It is the product and company I am choosing to develop deeply, rather than dividing my attention across several unrelated ventures.

Alongside my main work, I keep space for personal writing, creative exploration and the archive of ideas that helped shape the work I do today.
