My name is Mike, and I'm a Pricing Developer at Munich Re Specialty - Global Markets (MRS-GM). I have 5+ years of professional experience in Financial Services, with software development and consulting experience spanning across the Banking, Insurance, and Capital Markets sectors.
I work with developers, actuaries, and analysts in the MRS-GM Pricing team to build and integrate specialty insurance pricing models in Python and hx Renew. I have delivered models into production across multiple classes of business, including Specie and Cyber, while providing technical guidance and review to actuaries developing models across other classes. I have designed and implemented a policy migration framework that integrates the Pricing database with hx Renew via the hx Renew API, reducing developer effort and making migration timelines more predictable. I regularly provide Python and hx Renew expertise, helping to shape technical approaches, establish development best practices, and support the wider Pricing team.
Prior to Munich Re, I was a senior software consultant at Deloitte and a risk modelling analyst at Nationwide Building Society. My client-facing experience included two secondments as a Python model developer at hyperexponential, multiple engagements leveraging Python for large international banks, and a leading role on a data analytics workstream for Deloitte's largest cyber engagement. Through client engagements, I have ample experience in project management and stakeholder management, have regularly led workshops and mentored my peers in both technical and business-facing roles.
I graduated in 2020 with a first class Master's degree in Mathematics from the University of Oxford.
