Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin Ellis is a founder-CEO and full-stack PHP/Symfony engineer with 11 years of professional experience building products that simplify amateur and club sports logistics. He founded SportFinder after organizing 500+ matches himself, translating hands-on user pain into a platform that handles reservations, payments, access control and club-specific customizations. Previously a developer, analyst and co-founder across startups and corporate projects, he blends product sensibility with technical delivery and a pragmatic, non-standardized approach to integrations. Based in Charleroi, Belgium, he pairs his engineering roots with operational leadership to keep clubs connected to their communities while scaling acquisition and retention. An early webdev turned serial builder, he still codes and shapes SportFinder’s roadmap to ensure the platform solves the real-world frictions he once faced.
