Olli Huotari is a founder and CEO with 14 years of software engineering experience who has grown Nimenhuuto.com into a widely used sports team management platform serving over half a million athletes across Europe. Based in Helsinki and trained with an M.Sc. in Software Business, Strategy and International Business, he blends hands-on backend development (notably contributions to the ComfortableMexicanSofa Rails CMS) with product-led entrepreneurship. He started as a Java/J2EE developer and consultant, taught programming, and applied process modeling in an industrial trainee role, giving him a rare mix of technical depth and operational perspective. Passionate about using technology for practical social value, he focuses on solving real-world problems that save users time and improve team management. Not obvious from the title: he combines long-term engineering experience spanning two millennia with formal business training and active open-source maintenance.
