Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOliver Hardman is an Innovation Developer with 11 years' experience building cloud-native and AI-driven proof-of-concepts that turn fuzzy ideas into production-ready outcomes at Centrica. He blends hands-on engineering (TypeScript, Python, serverless AWS/Azure) with product design instincts — having led the internal “Centrica Spark” platform and shipped CV/OCR solutions that automated appliance diagnostics and SAR compliance. A customer-obsessed problem solver, he helped scale the Innovation team from 5 to 25 developers and routinely moves rapidly from Figma mockups to fine-tuned models and cloud architecture. His background in retail tech and frontline operations (award-winning stock and picking systems at Waitrose) gives him uncommon empathy for operational constraints when designing automated solutions.
