Vitali Krivar
@vitalikrivar
I build and optimize Oracle and PostgreSQL database systems for high-volume banking transactions.
What I'm looking for
I've spent 10+ years building production database systems for banking, from core lending and card accounts to transaction-heavy integrations.
At T-Bank, I moved lending functions from a Java/Oracle monolith to PostgreSQL services, converting 15+ database objects and removing legacy-schema dependencies. I also built concurrent indexes on million-row production partitions without client downtime.
At Rosbank, I migrated a live loan book containing hundreds of thousands of contracts, financial accounts, and FX rates to PostgreSQL. I designed an Oracle view layer and load modules, and built reliable Oracle AQ and Kafka processing for DWH feeds and customer statements.
Previously at Bank VTB Kazakhstan, I reduced card-account posting time by about 50% through SQL tuning and indexing. I also delivered an XML gateway for government data exchange and a Zero Balancing solution for corporate clients.
