Top SchoolPeter Wilson is a retired system architect and entrepreneur with nearly four decades of experience designing embedded-to-cloud systems, running his own software company for 20 years, and delivering mission-critical solutions for clients including TfL, government bodies and Bletchley Park Trust. He has patented innovations, won a British Design Council award, and specialized in reusable software and hardware-software integration across high-volume networking products and real-time communications stacks.
