Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGeoff Tidey is a seasoned software engineer and CTO with 25+ years of development experience and over a decade building and scaling Ruby on Rails products. As Co-Founder and CTO of Tifosy he blends hands-on engineering—having built their greenfield crowdfunding platform and achieved high test coverage and CI/CD—with strategic product and capital-raising support for sports ventures. He has a track record of rescuing and modernizing legacy Rails systems (introducing asset pipelines, CI, RuboCop, Sidekiq migrations) and shipping production features that directly impacted revenue and operations. Comfortable working across the stack, he has converted low-level assembly/C++ logic into maintainable Ruby gems, integrated real-time data pipelines, and led remote, cross-cultural teams. Based in London, he pairs entrepreneurial instincts with pragmatic engineering, often focusing on test-driven development and measurable operational improvements. An unusual detail: he’s combined deep systems-level reverse engineering with high-level product work, from decoding satellite feeds to launching successful crowdfunding campaigns.
