Senior🎓
Top SchoolDuncan Pierce is a commercially-minded senior staff engineer and technology leader with over 20 years’ experience delivering high-performance, business-critical systems across finance, energy, ecommerce and media. He combines hands-on engineering—spanning embedded IoT firmware to full-stack, cloud and container architectures—with strategic CTO/CIO-level thinking, having led IT for high‑profile digital properties (45m users) and advised on multi‑million dollar M&A technical due diligence. Notable strengths include rapidly validating complex system designs via executable scale models (used recently for retail energy tariffs), retrofitting secure controls into trading systems, and launching production services under tight timelines. A veteran Agile practitioner and founding organiser of XpDay, he pairs team-building and coaching with deep technical problem solving and a strong academic foundation (BSc, MSc, PhD). Based in Stroud, he excels at translating domain complexity into robust, testable architectures that reduce risk and API churn across organisations.
