Message

At the Financial Sector Conduct Authority, I review actuarial valuation submissions for retirement funds and assess assumptions, funding outcomes, and financial risks. I prepare technical reports and management summaries to support regulatory decision-making.

I also developed a motor insurance pricing model using Python and SQL, including claims frequency modelling with Poisson GLMs. In a separate credit risk project, I developed a Probability of Default model and segmented customers by risk.
