About Noah J. Clickner

I design data systems that make complex payments businesses easier to understand, operate, and scale.As a Principal Analytics Engineer in the payments industry, I specialize in translating intricate revenue models — interchange, buy rates, rev shares, settlement logic, authorization routing, partner economics — into governed, scalable data products that drive real business decisions.I architected and led the build of Data Hub — a highly customized Cognos-based self-service analytics environment that reduced reporting dependency, improved executive visibility, and streamlined sales partner onboarding by delivering trusted, decision-ready data. What started as reporting evolved into a data product that aligned finance, risk, sales, and operations around a single, reliable version of truth.My background sits at the intersection of:• SQL-centric data engineering (complex transformations, high-volume transactional data)• Analytics engineering & semantic modeling• Business-facing enablement across internal stakeholders and external partners (banks, fintech platforms, ISVs), aligning pricing, revenue share, and settlement logic with scalable data solutions.• Payments domain architecture (settlement, authorization, revenue share modeling)• Cross-functional leadership (onshore & offshore teams)I don’t just build dashboards. I design systems that scale. I don’t just surface metrics. I help leaders understand what matters, what’s feasible, and how data decisions impact revenue, cost, and partner relationships.In an industry where margins are thin and complexity compounds quickly, I bring clarity, structure, and strategic alignment between IT and the business.Outside of work, I’m driven by structure, family, and continuous growth — both professionally and personally.If you’re building modern data platforms in payments or fintech, I’d welcome the opportunity to connect.
