What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining actuarial domain expertise and data science—pricing, reserving or analytics roles with opportunities to apply ML, improve processes, and drive business impact in collaborative teams.

I am an actuarial professional turned data scientist with a Master's in Data Science and a strong background in actuarial pricing, reserving and model development. I have applied statistical and machine learning techniques (ARIMA, LSTM) using Python and R to financial problems, and driven process efficiency and timely delivery in corporate actuarial roles.

In my roles I progressed from executive trainee to assistant manager and now senior analyst, owning quote generation, pricing models, solvency provisioning and large-scale data analysis using SQL, Hive and Tableau. I combine domain expertise in insurance actuarial work with technical skills in R, Python, SQL and cloud tools to improve accuracy, automation and business decision-making.
