Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOliver Edgington is a seasoned technology leader and product innovator with over a decade of experience delivering large-scale web and media platforms from hands-on engineering to strategic CTO-like leadership. Based in London, he has led award-winning innovation teams at The Telegraph, architecting Node.js and AWS-based microservices and pioneering Python, GCP, and Vertex AI initiatives to bring ML and generative AI into production. He builds resilient, high-throughput systems—most recently delivering a bespoke video CMS that drove 40M+ monthly video views and created a new revenue stream. Oliver has a track record of founding and scaling engineering teams for high-concurrency products (including a platform designed for 1M+ concurrent websockets) and turning prototypes into profitable services. Equally comfortable mentoring product and engineering teams as he is writing production code, he blends practical system design with a sharp focus on ROI and operational excellence. A pragmatic innovator, he often surfaces cross-discipline solutions that unlock business value rather than pursuing technology for its own sake.
