Driving GenAI-Powered Transformation in Insurance & Regulatory Tech
I lead the design and deployment of GenAI and RAG microservices that transform underwriting, claims, and compliance workflows for insurers, delivering measurable gains in productivity, accuracy, and turnaround.
🔹 Underwriting & Legal Automation
Led the build of a Python-based, microservice Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) platform, accelerating contract renewal reviews by 50%. Introduced a LangGraph-based ingestion pipeline using Pydantic, Docker, and GitHub Actions, cutting manual data errors by 20%. Streamlined legal wording reviews from 5 to 2 days through GenAI-powered workflow optimization.
🔹 Claims Handler AI Copilot
Pioneered an agentic RAG assistant using GPT-4o, LangGraph agents, and vector search—boosting document review efficiency by over 50%. Delivered AI-generated evidence summaries and next-best-actions via custom entity extraction, saving up to 63% investigation time.
🔹 Regulatory Compliance AI
Engineered GenAI microservices to automate extraction and validation of FCA/PRA obligations, enhancing compliance team efficiency by 40%. Aligned AI-driven rules with PRA/FCA Handbook using RAG and GPT-4o, and enabled real-time GRC monitoring with Kafka integrations.
🔹 Policy Summarisation Platform
Delivered a greenfield solution using Vertex AI, Cloud Vector Search, and hybrid retrieval to reduce 100+ page insurance policies to digestible 1-page briefs. Achieved a 0.88 F1 score against SME gold standards using Deep Eval.
🔹 Indemnity Evidence Pipeline
Built a GenAI + Pydantic NLP system to extract key facts from claimant documents—reducing investigation time per claim by 50% and improving triage speed via custom entity recognition.
