Top SchoolAdam Byrtek is an engineering leader with 18 years of experience building and scaling venture-backed technology teams, currently serving as Engineering Manager in London after stints as CTO at multiple startups. He combines rigorous theoretical training (MSc in Applied Mathematics) with hands-on pedigree from Google and early-stage product engineering, which helps him translate complex problems into pragmatic architectures. Adam is comfortable shifting between strategy and code—he’s contributed to Flask’s testing capabilities—so he still dives into backend details when it matters. He’s led hiring, introduced CI/CD and best practices across organisations, and has overseen integrations with banking systems in fintech. A former watch leader in a round-the-world yacht race, he brings proven interpersonal leadership under pressure and a global perspective to distributed teams.
