Nick Duncan Founder & Engineer nickduncan.dev
I built Arclight so I could skip the layers and do what I'm good at — solving hard problems with code. When you hire Arclight, you get me. I've been building software for over 15 years — everything from .NET enterprise platforms to computer vision pipelines to full-stack web applications. I came up through digital design, which gave me an intuitive feel for image processing, visual systems, and how pixels become data. Along the way I've shipped production CV systems, built real-time analytics dashboards, and modernized legacy codebases that everyone else was afraid to touch. The thing I keep coming back to is that none of that matters if you can't ship. Clean architecture, honest timelines, and software that actually works — that's what I optimize for. Not pitch decks. Not vanity metrics. Working code, in production, doing the thing it's supposed to do.
Our process From first conversation to production — a clear, no-surprises process. We talk about your project, goals, and timeline. No pitch — just a focused conversation to see if we're a fit. We define the architecture, milestones, and deliverables. You get a clear proposal with transparent pricing before any work begins. Development happens in focused sprints. You get a staging environment from day one, with weekly check-ins and full visibility. We deploy to production, monitor performance, and provide 30 days of post-launch support. Part-time retainers available for ongoing work.

Project-based engagements and part-time retainers — no full-time contracts.
