Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTony Headford is a pragmatic Ruby on Rails developer with over two decades making IT work for businesses and 12 years focused in web and public sector systems. He combines hands-on full‑stack coding with technical leadership on large government projects (DfE, DEFRA, Environment Agency), designing integrations and charging/funding services that balance accessibility and commercial constraints. Comfortable across legacy and modern stacks—from C/C++ and Windows-era systems to Node.js and Rails—he excels at troubleshooting complex, multi-vendor environments and simplifying them into user-centred solutions. A former technical director and co‑founder in identity/access management, he brings security-conscious architecture and automated testing experience to every delivery. Based in Brixham, he’s equally at home mentoring teams and rolling up his sleeves to ship reliable, auditable software.
