Who is this Mike Duncan guy?

Mike Duncan: SEO (Search Engine Optimization) / ASP.NET / C# / Persuasion Architect guy.

I work at a not-so-much-of-a-startup-anymore startup, located in Vernon, Connecticut, USA.

I’m the main tech guy in a hot little SEO swat-team within the company. I’ve written and work on some sites with millions of unique visitors a month, some that never see the light of day. It’s all pretty awesome.

It’s my team’s job to argue incessantly over the compromises needed to do well in the ecommerce game. SEO vs. design vs. usability vs. speed vs. conversion. Can’t beat that for a job!

In previous job incarnations I was:

  • A dashing C# application developer of a credit card transaction component for a large, unnamed application.
  • A Java / .jsp guy building intranet systems like time and billing and the ever popular Java / Oracle backend football / ncaa pools.
  • A charming Solaris / Linux system administrator.
  • A Perl / scripty dude.

Naturally, I was an English / Philosophy major.

I have a Ms. Pacman standup arcade game in my kitchen.

I have mulitple ass-kicking border collies.
