Troy Forster
Consulting Technology Director at Troy Forster
Old Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Summary
👤
SeniorTroy Forster is a hands-on Consulting Technology Director with over 20 years of cross-industry experience delivering creative, out-of-the-box software solutions for clients ranging from Apple and Visa to the United Nations. He combines enterprise and application architecture, UX direction, and rapid prototyping to lead teams through business-critical challenges while still getting into the code and systems himself. Troy has a track record of introducing practical technical shifts—early adopter of responsive design, Node.js, NoSQL, and agile practices—while thriving in environments that lack full role coverage. His career intentionally spans verticals (legal, finance, government, telecommunications, advertising), giving him rare breadth in both domain knowledge and technical patterns. Known for translating complex technical concepts into clear narratives, he frequently supports client pitches, keynotes and technical writing. Based in downtown Toronto, he’s also an avid tinkerer, cyclist and vegetarian who treats technology as an experimental craft.
