Top SchoolJustin Foell is a seasoned engineering leader with 13 years of professional experience driving backend and WordPress-focused development, currently managing the WPForms engineering team at Awesome Motive.

An early adopter and tinkerer—“breaking things since 1977”—he favors practical automation and clean integration patterns that scale with product growth.
