Cherry Blossoms

Actuary

I’ve journeyed from poker tables to software development to actuarial science, now thriving in the dynamic world of Property & Casualty insurance. A lifelong fascination with risk, uncertainty, and hidden patterns runs through everything I do, from decoding complex data to pondering life’s bigger questions. My writing explores the unseen frameworks that shape our choices and outcomes, blending technical insight with philosophical reflection.

Welcome to my corner of the internet: a space where numbers meet meaning and chaos reveals its patterns. Here, curious minds are invited to uncover the narratives within the math and discover meaning in the unpredictable.

Upcoming Novel

Recently, I started writing an actuarial thriller. (and no, it’s not another exam)

It’s a hard sci-fi collection in which surrealism collides with celestial chaos, and actuarial ingenuity takes center stage. Welcome to the high-stakes world of Echelon Prime Assurance, the boldest insurance company of the 23rd century, daring to underwrite the unimaginable risks of a universe just barely different from our own.

The Void Exclusion: Insuring the Infinite doesn’t offer tidy resolutions. Instead, it’s a collection of stories where absurdity and brilliance blur, much like the art of excess threshold selection.

The first 2 chapters are live, and more are on the way as I write. If actuarial fiction feels like the perfect outlet for your well-reserved curiosity, you’ll find it here.
