Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolStuart Duncan is a Principal Technical Architect with over 25 years in IT and more than a decade in senior architecture and delivery roles, blending hands-on engineering with commercial and people leadership. He is language-agnostic but has deep roots in the Microsoft stack and significant experience with .NET, Java, Spring Boot, AWS, and DevOps practices, often driving CI/CD and integration-heavy solutions. Stuart excels at turning ambiguous requirements into pragmatic architectures for both public and private sector clients, and has acted as technical lead, solution delivery lead, and interim delivery partner to grow accounts and teams. He contributes to open-source tooling for niche platforms like Synology NAS packaging, showing an appetite for low-level deployment and cross-compilation challenges beyond typical enterprise work. Colleagues describe him as an integrative, mentor-minded problem solver who favors “I haven’t done it yet” over “it can’t be done.”
