About Andre

11 years across PwC, EY, and Virtual Actuary — IFRS 17 implementation, AI advisory, and actuarial consulting across 16 jurisdictions.

Andre Erasmus

I lead software implementations in insurance — modelling, reporting, regulations. I've worked across 16 jurisdictions, from Cape Town to Kuala Lumpur, and I'm still as curious about the next one as the first. These days I'm deep in AI, building tools that make actuarial work faster and more interesting.

Built in-house

My career started in audit and actuarial consulting — spreadsheets, models, regulatory filings. Over 11 years, the work evolved from life insurance valuations to building end-to-end data pipelines: sourcing data, running calculations, generating reports, and explaining results to boards and regulators. That skillset — data in, insight out — turns out to be transferable far beyond IFRS 17.

Since 2025 I've built 20+ production systems: a multi-domain knowledge portal, automated email intelligence, financial reconciliation engines, security monitoring, disaster recovery, model documentation pipelines, and project management tools — all in live use, every output under actuarial review.

This website is itself an example. Previously, building something like this was beyond my capabilities. With AI as a coding partner, I built it. It's a small proof of what becomes possible when domain expertise meets new technology — and I'm working with a team of AI specialists and engineers to bring that same capability to industrial-scale solutions for insurers.
