Deep expertise in portfolio credit risk frameworks — transition matrices, Monte Carlo simulation, correlated default modeling, and tail risk measurement. Production-quality Python skills. Experience calibrating and validating credit models. Strong written communication for technical and executive audiences. Comprehensive user of AI tools. ### Preferred Insurance regulatory capital experience (Bermuda, Solvency II, or NAIC RBC). Structured credit modeling (CLO engines, CMBS/RMBS loss models).
