Launch your digital banking platform.
Implementation consulting for credit unions, banks, and FinTechs. I help financial institutions go from digital strategy to production — on time, on budget.
Bridging the gap between digital strategy and platform execution
Sergey Pochikovskiy
LinkedIn (opens in a new tab)I'm Sergey Pochikovskiy — 16 years in financial services, from credit unions to enterprise commercial banking. I help financial institutions migrate to modern digital banking platforms, owning the governance and delivery from Discovery through production.
My experience spans the full spectrum: a small FinTech startup, a Canadian credit union, a fast-growing bank in Belarus, and high-scale enterprise commercial banking in North America. That range means I understand the constraints and realities at every level — from a 35,000-member credit union to a top-6 Canadian bank.

From first call to production
Discovery
I learn your business, your members, and your current technology landscape. Together we define what success looks like and build a roadmap to get there.
Implementation
Hands-on delivery — platform configuration, system integration, data migration, and custom development. I work alongside your team as part of the delivery, not just an advisor pointing at slides.
Launch & Support
Testing, training, go-live support, and post-launch optimization. I stay involved until the platform is running smoothly and your team is confident.

Multi-Vendor Governance
Digital banking projects involve VeriPark, core banking vendors, payment processors, and internal teams. I coordinate across all of them — RAID management, dependency tracking, and escalation — so nothing falls through the cracks.
Hands-On Delivery
I don't just advise from the sidelines. I configure, I test, I sit in the room with your team during UAT. Delivery, not decks.
Coaching & Team Building
I've hired and coached new consultants at Modes. I help your team build internal capability, not dependency.
Bilingual
English and Russian. Useful when working with diverse teams and international stakeholders.
Scoutloop
I spend as much time as I can in the BC backcountry — trailrunning, hiking, and ski touring. Scoutloop came from a real need: knowing what conditions actually look like before you drive three hours to a trailhead.
It pulls weather, avalanche danger, road closures, and fire bans into one pre-trip briefing. Built with the same modern stack I bring to client work — and built using AI-assisted development workflows with Claude, Codex, Gemini, and OpenCode.
