Soufian Elhanafi · Senior Consultant

Enterprise Java, engineered with precision.

I design hexagonal architectures, microservices and DDD for companies that can't afford to fail — from IFRS9 compliance at Société Générale to the TotalEnergies Digital Factory.

Profile

A senior backend consultant for industries where uptime isn't optional.

I'm a senior Java / Spring Boot consultant with 8 years of enterprise consulting across financial services and energy. My work is grounded in hexagonal architecture,microservices and domain-driven design — systems structured to absorb change rather than resist it.

I'm currently on mission at the TotalEnergies Digital Factory. Recent and past missions include Société Générale (IFRS9 regulatory migration), EDF (activity reporting & forecasting), CEGEDIM (insurance contract management) and NTT DATA (microservice platform).

When a delivery needs an interface, I build it with React, React Native and Next.js. I operate through my UK-registered consulting entity, PEHEM GLOBAL SOLUTIONS LLP.
