# Nitin Agrawal on Tal

## Headline

Built analytics behind IBKR’s 300K → 5M global accounts \| MS Univ\. of Illinois Chicago \| IIT\-BHU \| Data, AI & Analytics\.

## About

I spent 12 years inside Interactive Brokers, an NYSE\-listed US brokerage serving 5 million accounts across 150\+ countries\. Building the analytics infrastructure that supported their global growth from 300,000 accounts to where they are today\. Before joining IB, I studied at the University of Illinois Chicago \(MS, MIS \- GPA 3\.82, Dean's Full Tuition Waiver\) and IIT\-BHU, one of India's most selective engineering institutions \(top 0\.2% nationally\)\. I've worked with global teams across the US, Europe, and Asia throughout my career\. At IBKR I built the data analytics function from scratch, there was none when I joined\. I introduced Python, R, dbt, Snowflake, Power BI and Claude AI across marketing and product teams, grew the function to a 5\-person team, and helped optimise a $200M annual marketing budget\. One of my favourite wins: I saved $100K in wasted Ad spend in a single campaign\. I also contributed to the official IB R API and presented at the R/Finance Conference in Chicago, where our work helped attract sophisticated high\-value traders to the platform\. Data Engineering, Analytics, BI, ML, GenAI — for fintech, marketing\-led, and healthtech companies globally\. Python · R · SQL · dbt · Snowflake · Power BI · Tableau · PyTorch · Claude AI · AWS
