Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGeoffrey Okongo is a founder and hands-on software engineer with 11 years of experience building full stacks from first principles, from lightweight PHP frameworks to a production search engine indexing 35 million Kenyan pages. He created Rachie, a minimal PHP MVC framework that powers Pressli (a lean CMS) and Gliver, and deliberately avoids off‑the‑shelf search components—designing a distributed crawler (10k pages/sec), custom indexer, and Kenya‑focused ranking algorithms. Based in Los Angeles, he combines low‑level performance optimization across C, C#, Python, PHP, and JavaScript with product instincts honed leading agency teams for SMEs. Geoffrey’s work is motivated by a practical mission—to keep local traffic and economic value within Kenya—and he’s currently focused on scaling infrastructure and improving search relevance before layering ML. A polyglot who spent two years traveling to learn languages, he brings both technical rigor and a global, user‑centered perspective to engineering and product decisions.
