Top SchoolAdam Forster is a senior software engineer and technology leader with over 14 years of professional experience and a 20+-year trajectory building bespoke e-commerce and ERP systems, primarily in Python and Django. He has led end-to-end delivery and Linux-based web infrastructure (PostgreSQL, Nginx) while scaling teams and operations for market-leading brands like BullionByPost and Gold.co.uk. As Technology Director he combined hands-on development with recruitment, mentoring and a move to Microsoft 365, driving both technical and data strategy across the business.

Colleagues describe him as a builder who blends deep backend expertise with operational ownership — from servers to product — and a demonstrated knack for turning legacy platforms into scalable international systems. Based in Shifnal, UK, he brings a steady mix of technical craft, people leadership and continuous improvement.
