    My experience as an analyst with the actuarial services group was broad

    and included valuation and modelling work ranging from property and casualty to life and health insurance. A key focus of my work was on stochastic modelling

    and I built or worked closely on models for sick leave valuations

    captive feasibility assessments

    life and long-term disability insurance

    self-insurance retentions for municipalities and associations

    and total company models for large life and P&C insurance companies. As an extension of this role

    I became involved in the programming

    development

    and support of Collins Barrow's proprietary stochastic modelling software

    DIVA. My work on DIVA included developing a new module for the valuation of sick leave benefits

    redesigning a module to calculate annuity factors for pension valuations

    and the introduction of a user-authentication system using the RSA-2048 cryptosystem.
