Carl Norburn is a seasoned software engineer with over three decades of experience modernizing legacy systems and building low-latency, high-availability distributed architectures. He combines deep Java expertise with practical polyglot skills (Rust, Go, Python) to design event-driven microservices on Kafka and Kubernetes across AWS, GCP and Azure. Carl has led high-impact digital transformations for public-sector clients and production blockchain engineering for the Casper ecosystem, including an open-source Java Event Store and SDK used by exchanges. A hands-on mentor, he champions strict TDD and modern Java standards while integrating generative AI tools to accelerate the SDLC responsibly. He is as comfortable rescuing monoliths through domain-centric sub-modular decomposition as he is architecting greenfield systems that emphasize simplicity and resilience. Based in Bristol, he brings a rare blend of legacy-savvy pragmatism and forward-looking technical innovation.
