Summary
Benjamin Dunphy is a founder and operator with 10+ years building developer-focused events, products, and web experiences from San Francisco. He launched and ran Reactathon—the largest independent React conference in the US—and was hired by Netlify to create and produce JAMstack_conf end-to-end, balancing mid-six-figure budgets while growing audiences and sponsorships. As CEO of AI Engineer Summit he now curates programs at the intersection of developer education and emerging tech, and his hands-on background as a full-stack web developer informs practical event tech and marketing decisions. He also co-founded a catering venture that saved major organizers tens of thousands in costs, showing a knack for operational creativity beyond typical tech roles. Trained at Epicodus and steeped in JAMstack and serverless workflows, he combines product instincts, sales savvy, and logistics mastery to scale conferences and trainings. Colleagues rely on him when they need a turnkey event leader who understands both developer communities and the business of running them.
