• Catastrophe Risk Analyst

  • Jun 2015 - Apr 2016

  Working at Validus as a catastrophe risk analyst was a great position to improve my analytical prowess and learn new techniques. I became very familiar with the reinsurance industry and how to use catastrophe risk modeling software to prepare detailed reports for our underwriters to price deals. In addition, I was able to leverage my unique background in spatial technology to create custom mapping solutions in ArcMap, QGIS and R. Some of these projects included making hazard maps to aid in the analytical workflow, creating maps that compared year on year portfolio changes and data munging in R to dig deep and find trends. • Created and developed custom GIS analytical workflows to visualize spatial data • Worked with developers to test and debug new tools before release • Documented technical work flows on internal wiki for reference and training • Big data analytics using SQL and R to automate and streamline complex analyses • Excelled in a fast paced environment managing time sensitive projects • Managed client databases on multiple servers for analysis in various software packages • Used catastrophe modeling software to determine insurance risk
