Julia in the Cat Business

My team joined Ark Underwriting two years ago with the task of providing all the tools needed to execute the reinsurance business to underwriters, catastrophe modelers and their management. I will share with the audience our experience of developing a Corporate application with Julia: the challenges we have been posed to solve and how Julia helped us overcoming them.

In this talk, I will explain how we are using Julia to implement and executing all the task required to run Reinsurance business in a reinsurance startup like Ark. This involves various tasks like Portfolio Rollup, Program Pricing and Reporting.

I will detail how different tools that Julia provides fit our business requirements and software workflows. I will also highlight how the Julia community's help has been crucial in making of this a successful story.
