Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBalbir Boughan is a Contract Senior Software Engineer and .NET technical lead based in Leeds with a multi-decade commercial background and eight years focused on senior contracting roles delivering cloud-native, event-driven systems. He designs and implements microservice and serverless architectures on AWS using DDD, CQRS and event sourcing patterns, and has built PCI-DSS compliant payment services and high-volume policy administration platforms for insurance and gaming clients. Comfortable moving between hands-on development and solution architecture, he has practical experience recovering lost source code, integrating Kerberos SSO in Linux, and producing C4-modeled technical documentation. Balbir consistently drives extensibility and loose coupling—ensuring new products can be integrated with minimal friction—and often takes solutions through governance and delivery lifecycles. His background in business and accounting gives him a pragmatic appreciation for non-functional requirements like data retention, encryption and regulatory compliance. Quietly versatile, he pairs deep .NET expertise with a track record of stabilising legacy systems while delivering modern, event-based replacements.
