TurkeyWhat I'm looking for
I am a data-driven actuary and pricing specialist with nine years of hands-on experience across health, life, pension, and travel insurance. I combine actuarial training and an MBA with strong technical skills to deliver accurate pricing and regulatory reporting.
My recent work includes developing SQL Server stored procedures for IFRS 17 automation and refactoring SAS code to improve processing efficiency and analytical accuracy. I build pricing tools using Excel and Python and have led IFRS 17 implementation projects using advanced SAS workflows.
I have delivered market benchmarking, EMEA reporting, sensitivity analysis, and pricing tools for group and individual health products. I design, model, and upgrade pricing systems and produce reconciliations and regulatory disclosures for captive and pool business portfolios.
I continuously expand my technical toolkit—SAS, MS SQL, Python, R, Power BI, Azure DevOps and advanced Excel—and hold multiple certifications in IFRS17, pricing, machine learning, and SQL. I am committed to measurable improvements in pricing accuracy, automation, and reporting reliability.
