Summary
🤩
RockstarPhilip Okugbe is a founder and full-stack software engineer with eight years of experience building high-usage consumer tools and enterprise-first knowledge platforms. Based in the UK, he founded RapidSave (used by over 40 million people) and Getvideobot (700K followers, 2M monthly pageviews), demonstrating product instincts that scale both traffic and engagement. He now leads Docmost, an on-premises collaborative wiki alternative to Confluence/Notion, combining real-time editors, diagram integrations and granular permissioning to meet enterprise security needs. His GitHub contributions show hands-on backend work—migrating to Fastify and integrating TypeORM—alongside frontend features like JWT auth and rich media embeds, reflecting a practical full-stack fluency. Unusually for a founder, he remains deeply involved in core implementation details while steering product direction, connecting technical depth with user-focused growth.
