Description

I bridge legacy insurance DNA and modern cloud engineering. With 30 years of experience from writing COBOL to leading as a CIO - I deliver production-grade Python, C#, and Azure systems for regulated industries where precision is non-negotiable.

Core expertise:

- Insurance: core policy administration (Amarta/FIS), the C# regulatory framework behind Solvency II / IFRS 17 applications, claims, premiums, reinsurance and commissions - supporting 100,000+ life policies, with actuarial calculations implemented by the actuarial teams.

- Energy & trading: production Python platforms for energy trading and risk (gas, futures, mark-to-market, P&L, risk limits), industrial IoT and real-time telemetry, and ML forecasting at scale.

- Modern engineering: high-performance Python (FastAPI), C#/.NET, Azure (AKS), event-driven architectures, and agentic AI.

Typical engagements:

- Modernizing legacy policy-admin and regulatory-reporting platforms

- Architecting AI-native backends and energy optimization platforms

- Fractional CTO: strategy → architecture → code
