Financial and reinsurance workstreams within a group-wide technology refresh across Lloyd's and commercial operations. Solution architecture for Phinsys, a technical sub-ledger, and Sapiens SRM, with a threat model covering every interface and sign-off from enterprise architecture and compliance.
Every birth, marriage and death registered in England and Wales since 1837, moving from paper to database. Led the AI position on the Home Office procurement: achievable transcription accuracy, data modelling and transformation, and which suppliers could credibly deliver.
A new actuarial reserving platform, from baseline architecture to a live quarterly cycle, releasing CHF 30 million in reserves in its first cycle. Separately, the architecture and programme plan for using electronic health records in US life underwriting.
GP records are unstructured, inconsistently coded and frequently handwritten. We built a pipeline that read them regardless, and used it to identify non-disclosure in live life policies — a global first in automated underwriting. A second engagement established the architecture for detecting fraud in health claims across emerging markets.
Following a group acquisition, Police Mutual needed a clear view of its own business and applications landscape. We modelled it, identified where structures, processes and systems could be consolidated, and reported to the board.
Enterprise architecture for a FTSE 250 wealth manager's target operating model (Brewin Dolphin), and global PMO lead for a $9m document management programme across 36 countries and 20 EY member firms (AIG).
A portfolio of data warehousing projects for internal clients worldwide, and enterprise BI strategy for ACE's global treaty and multinational operations.
Enterprise information strategy, MDM and data governance. Led the rollout of the IRIS underwriting system across every London market portfolio and Lloyd's syndicate, each going live in six weeks rather than months.
CRM and workflow architecture for insurers. Clients: Friends Provident, RIAS.
CRM, workflow and document management for insurance and financial services in the UK and Germany. Clients: AMP Pearl, Prudential, Direkt Anlage Bank.
CRM and policy administration systems for Swiss insurers. Clients: UBS Swiss Life Profitline, Züritel.
Large-scale public sector database projects. Clients: Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries & Food, Contributions Agency, Avon & Somerset Police.
The work I find most interesting sits at the join between a genuinely hard business problem and a technology that has only recently become good enough to solve it. That has meant OCR and NLP on health records, machine learning on claims fraud, and transcription AI on two centuries of handwritten civil registration.
I also still build. MyHallWizard is a booking and invoicing platform I wrote and run for community halls — Laravel, React and MySQL on AWS, now used by more than ninety halls worldwide. It keeps me honest about what a design costs to implement.
A key skill of Nick's is being able to see the broader picture on complex projects. As well as identifying issues, he offers real and pragmatic solutions.
His enthusiasm, wide knowledge, experience and intelligence were a great asset to the team. He brought many new ideas which shaped the final product.
