About Bharat

25+ years turning legacy estates into platforms that perform.

I do not simply upgrade code — I transform the business operations that depend on it.

Bharat Hirani — Head of Engineering and founder of Modernized Code
The background

From front-office systems to platform renewal.

I am an experienced software engineer specialising in C# and .NET, with a proven track record of designing, implementing, and optimising high-performance solutions. Currently Head of Engineering – Market Data at Coremont, I have led multiple teams across compliance, risk, and front-office systems in demanding financial services environments.

I do not simply upgrade code — I transform the business operations that depend on it. From migrating VB6 trading platforms to modern .NET architectures, to eliminating costly third-party dependencies, to guiding complete estate upgrades across complex organizations, every engagement I take on is built around one question: what does success actually look like for this business?

Proven outcomes
  • 15-minute processes reduced to under 60 seconds; 2-minute API response times brought to under 5 seconds.
  • Costly third-party licensing removed, reducing operational overhead and vendor dependency.
  • Cloud-ready architectures designed using modern patterns including gRPC, Kafka, and microservices.
  • Security headers, distributed tracing, and compliance frameworks introduced as part of every engagement.
  • Engineering leadership across compliance, risk, and front-office teams in financial services.

The question is never whether to modernize — it is how to do it without disrupting the business you are running today. I can help you answer that.
