As the founding team member of UFG's Catastrophe Modeling team, I worked on supporting our assumed business as well as our direct business.Created reports for analyzing reinsurance treaties and determining risk appetite and concentration conflicts.Launched Posit Connect platform for the organization, enabling analytics, data science, and engineering teams to easily host reports, Shiny and Streamlit applications, and Flask APIs Acted as technical lead, providing guidance for analysis design, data modeling, and application designReviewed reinsurance submissions and quantified their potential impact on our combined portfoliosWorked closely with cat model vendor to troubleshoot system reliability and system requirementsExpanded organizational capabilities to assess wildfire risk & concentration metrics to mitigate risk for assumed deals and our direct bookAdvocated for technical standards and code-first, reproducible, approaches for analysesCreated automated weather reporting & loss estimation for direct and assumed portfolios based on SPC storm reports

Managed exposure through analyzing our portfolio characteristics, reinsurance costs, and modeled losses in KCC, AIR, and RMS, including creating new data-driven underwriting guidelines to mitigate losses and increase profitabilityDid deep dives on our existing portfolio to audit underwriting guideline adherence, creating actionable recommendations and enforcing our risk appetite for future policy bindingsCreated a framework to assess risk and develop rating relativities enabling us to maintain a holistic view of Cat risk in multiple new states and control pricing end-to-endDeveloped event tracking tool to parse daily Storm Prediction Center reports to track claims development and assess severe convective storm classification for reinsurance reimbursementsCreated a process to automate AIR modeling for our month-end process and high value home modeling quote as well as worked with our developers to bring the product to productionSupported live event response by clustering Atlantic Hurricane operational models into custom events to provide diverse pre and post-landfall loss scenariosCreated Tableau dashboards to help track Hurricane, SCS, and Wildfire eventsWorked with Dev Ops to establish a department Git repository and normalize version controlling processesCreated and maintained a company R package to unify and standardized commonly used functions and methodsResearch and deploy new resources to augment our data and enhance our capabilities in areas such as sales, damage surveying, and exposure management.Develop & deploy APIs with R's Plumber to make processes more efficientCreate training documentation for team members on various R packages and techniques

I cleaned and validated data, provided descriptive and advanced analytics, and provide visualizations for multiple research topics.
