Who is working on nsyght?


Geoffrey McCaleb, Director of Product

Geoffrey McCaleb Geoffrey originally hails from Texas, but has been living in London since 2001. He has a deep background in designing and delivering large scale web and content management platforms for EDS, ReedElsevier, c|net, BP, BT and others

Geoffrey started Nsyght in 2007 as a personal pursuit to marry user bookmarks with general web search. As the social web took more shape with Facebook and Twitter, he decided that search relevancy was an exciting subject in need of somebody to take the lead. He has worked for the last year to lay the foundations for Nsyght’s current algorithmic technology.

When he isn’t hanging out with his team (his “other” family), he enjoys time with his wife and son, exploring new music, and sharpening his self-proclaimed “off the charts” BBQing skills.
