Summary
Duncan Awerbuck is a Senior Frontend Engineer with over 20 years in software development and 12 years focused on modern web stacks, currently building user-facing systems at Optum from Ireland. He began in the .NET ecosystem (ASP.NET, C#, SQL Server) and has progressively specialized in Angular, React, Node.js and NoSQL architectures, bringing a pragmatic, lean-stack approach to complex products. His background includes a decade in Financial Services and senior roles where he rewrote CI/CD pipelines, maintained a 5,000+ test suite, and delivered metadata-driven UI libraries used globally. A Microsoft-certified developer who champions accessibility, he has re-themed large component libraries and implemented real-world testing strategies that mimic user interactions. Known for favouring people over process, he pairs clear, concise communication with hands-on delivery across front- and back-end boundaries. An early adopter of modern JavaScript frameworks, he enjoys applying new patterns that differ from his prior experience to solve thorny engineering problems.
