Nikita Chursin is a Senior Software Engineer and Team Lead with 10 years of experience building high-quality, team-owned software and improving delivery processes across fintech and enterprise domains. He combines hands-on technical work—recently migrating OZON Bank’s KYC stack from Salesforce to Go—with a deep focus on extreme programming, BDD, TDD and role-less team models that eliminate silos and drastically reduce defects. A seasoned Salesforce architect and full-stack engineer, he has led teams at Deutsche Bank and Aquiva Labs, created reusable testing libraries for LWC, and scaled developer tooling such as Linux-based environments to boost productivity. Nikita is an active mentor, speaker and community leader in the Russian Salesforce scene and coaches RAD Women, reflecting a commitment to growing engineering culture as much as systems. Known as a “software craftsman,” he prefers solving the right problem over producing code for its own sake, believing the best code is the unwritten code.
