Nikita Vaal

I’m a DWH analyst and Product Owner (Data & Analytics) based in Russia, focused on turning regulatory and business requirements into reliable data products. At Moscow Credit Bank, I built and now operate reporting that feeds Central Bank of Russia requirements and supports management balance sheet reconciliation.

I design ETL pipelines, write complex SQL queries for data marts, and translate technical specifications into what stakeholders actually need. I also build dashboards in FineBI (including plan vs actual and item-level drill downs) and automate deep breakdowns with Bash for Central Bank audits and reconciliations.

I lead a cross-functional team of 4, coordinating 2 DWH developers and 2 analysts. I gather and prioritise business requirements, translate business needs into technical solutions, and ensure the data output is consistent enough to stand up in reporting and reconciliation workflows.

Alongside production work, I co-developed an applied research project at HSE University: an Algorithmic Spread Bot with Automatic Hedging on KuCoin (defense summer 2026). Using Python and statistical methods, I implemented cointegration-based signal generation and walk-forward backtesting, achieving CAGR 18.4% and Sharpe Ratio 1.21 with a market-neutral (no directional risk) thesis.
