Top SchoolJames Duncombe is a versatile software engineer with over 14 years of professional experience building web and distributed systems for clients across maritime, gaming, finance and property sectors. Comfortable across Go, Solidity/EVM, Elixir, JavaScript and Ruby, he combines backend systems work with operational tooling using Redis, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Docker and observability stacks like Prometheus/Grafana. Having run his own web development practice since 2009 and held senior engineering roles at TokenSphere and Consilience Ventures, he blends hands-on delivery with product-focused, client-facing development. Now at The Estate Registry, he applies pragmatic architecture and blockchain-savvy engineering to real-world problems, and is known for embracing new technologies rather than sticking to a single stack.
