Hi, I’m Tyler Jefford.

I’m an engineering leader with a passion for building high-performing teams and delivering technology that makes a real-world impact.

Today, I lead the Decisioning team at Chime, where we recently launched Chime+ as part of our mission to unite everyday people and unlock their financial progress.

Before Chime, I led engineering teams at Venmo, where we launched major initiatives like the Venmo Teen Account and the Venmo Credit Card — bringing smarter, safer financial tools to the next generation.

Earlier in my career, I built and scaled teams at Enova, delivering fast, trustworthy credit products powered by cutting-edge analytics and technology.

I started my journey in advertising and digital marketing, designing and developing websites, mobile apps, and digital experiences for brands of all sizes. It was a fast-paced, high-pressure environment that taught me how to build, ship, and solve problems creatively — skills that still shape how I lead today.

✍️ On my Blog, I write about technology, leadership, productivity, and whatever else I’m learning or wrestling with. No ads, no tracking, no gimmicks — just real notes from the journey.
