Technical Advisor @ Lockton · 3+ yrs in collective health & life insurance
→ Transitioning into banking & financial risk
At Lockton I manage the full technical lifecycle of corporate insurance accounts — from risk analysis to final placement:
- Negotiation & underwriting — negotiate premiums and conditions directly with insurers for collective health and life accounts
- Portfolio scale — corporate portfolios with annual premiums ranging from $5M to $40M MXN
- Analytical work — claims analysis, morbidity trends, loss ratios, market benchmarking, and findings metrics
- Harmonization — when subsidiaries acquire other companies, I consolidate and homologate their insurance programs into a unified structure
- Stakeholder communication — present risk findings and proposals to directors, commercial teams, and clients — including US/UK accounts — in English and Spanish
A web tool I designed and configured — defining parameters, calculation logic, and data cubes — that cuts the quoting process from 2+ hours to under 10 minutes for accounts eligible under broker-insurer agreements.
- Queries multiple insurers simultaneously
- Auto-generates quotation slips and output slips in Excel format
- Produces a full corporate presentation with all conditions and pricing
- Designed to handle high-volume, standardized accounts at scale
A team-wide dashboard for tracking placement pipeline status across accounts.
Modular Python library for market risk quantification via Monte Carlo simulation across multi-asset portfolios.
- 4 methods: Cholesky (Normal & Empirical) · PCA (Normal & Empirical)
- 10,000 simulations; captures fat tails, skewness, and cross-asset correlations
- Automated data ingestion via the Yahoo Finance API; configurable reporting (summary tables, CSV exports, visualizations)
- Built to explore quantitative market risk metrics commonly used in portfolio risk management and regulatory capital frameworks
- Led inflation analysis for a simulated Banco de México Governing Board session; recommended holding the reference rate unchanged based on persistent core inflation relative to the 3% target, and authored the monetary policy bulletin
- Team built a multi-agent AI system simulating board deliberation across five differentiated stances, with automated voting and minutes generation
- Built an insurance loss prediction model in R using a GLM Tweedie with cross-validated parameter selection and per-coverage modeling
- Achieved a Gini coefficient of 0.46

Currently building: credit risk models (PD / LGD / EAD)
The work I do — pricing risk, reading loss experience, modeling uncertainty — maps directly onto banking risk. I'm actively targeting credit risk, market risk, ALM, and portfolio risk roles across banking and asset management, where actuarial rigor meets financial regulation.
Currently learning: Basel III · IFRS 17 · stress testing · risk-based capital · ALM · financial econometrics
