Understanding and managing catastrophe risk are of vital importance to the re/insurance industry. Risk Management Solutions is a leader in providing physical CAT models for perils such as Earthquake, Flood, and Hurricane. Our financial model was hard to understand, and harder to enhance.

Informed by such concepts as ubiquitous language, bounded context, and model-driven design, we developed a simple language to represent and execute the terms and conditions of re/insurance contracts. An even simpler language was developed for the flows of money through arbitrarily complex structures of such contracts. That took us three years. The other seven it took to bring these to market – well, come and hear the story.

About David Glaubman

With over 30 years of experience as a professional software developer, David has worked with a number of complex domains, which include: technical document management, computer-aided design, and ad-hoc workflow systems.

In 2007, he attended a half-day seminar on DDD conducted by Eric Evans. The seminar, and the blue book that came with it, scratched an itch he had barely been aware of.

For the last ten years, his focus has been building tools to model massive re/insurance structures.
