About Yash Barmeda

I recently graduated from Rutgers University (May 2025) with a B.A. in Mathematics, concentrating in Actuarial Science and Economics. With a strong background in financial modeling, statistical analysis, and risk management, I’m passionate about leveraging data to solve complex business and financial problems in the insurance industry.Currently, I work as an Actuarial Analyst at ACAP, where I support financial reporting, valuation, and model development for life and annuity products. This role has allowed me to apply actuarial concepts in a real world setting and gain hands on experience with data validation, assumption analysis, and reporting accuracy.I’ve passed SOA Exams P and FM and am currently preparing for Exam SRM (Statistics for Risk Modeling), which I plan to take in January 2026.Previously, as an Actuarial Intern at Chubb Insurance, I built detailed loss triangles in Excel and analyzed over claims across 50+ airports, contributing to the development of a new pricing model. At Trans Africa Insurance Brokers, I evaluated reinsurance strategies and identified a potential 12% reduction in reinsurance costs through in depth claims and exposure analysis.My technical skills include Excel (Advanced), R, Python, VBA, and MATLAB, along with strong analytical thinking and collaborative problem solving.As I continue working toward my ASA designation, I’m eager to grow in areas like valuation, modeling, risk management, and capital analysis, building a long term career in the actuarial field.Let’s connect — I’m always open to conversations about actuarial analytics, insurance innovation, and professional growth opportunities. y•••@scarletmail.rutgers.edu
