Selected work
I develop practical resources at the intersection of actuarial science, risk, data science, machine learning, and climate-related uncertainty. This collection brings together my published work, interactive applications, research projects, presentations, and teaching materials.
Long-form learning
Three online books designed as a unified actuarial learning series.
