Top SchoolChris Ballard is a seasoned software engineer and architect with 13+ years of experience delivering full-stack, enterprise-grade systems across finance and technical domains. He has deep .NET expertise and a strong track record building microservice-based backends, trading floor front-office systems, and data-normalisation pipelines for equity derivatives, hedge funds and CPPIs. Comfortable co-located with traders and support teams, he pairs domain knowledge from a decade in investment banking with hands-on implementation skills from C#/.NET to Angular and Azure. As a tech lead and scrum master he has driven CI/CD, performance-driven re-architectures that cut batch times from hours to minutes, and internal communities for mentoring and tech evaluation. After a pandemic-era career break spent exploring electronics, 3D design/printing and Unity game development, he’s back looking for London-based roles and focused on microservices and modern .NET stacks.
