Stuart Moorfoot’s Summary

Over the past 16 years I've been involved in a number of ground-up, full lifecycle projects, all within the financial services industry. I've been involved in building significant parts of systems ranging from Risk Management and Trading Systems for the Wholesale Banking sector to Account management and Branch sales for Retail Banking. The most recent development efforts have been within the Insurance industry, building Policy Admin, Illustration and Receipting systems.

I was part of the core development effort for the Value Flow System, which is a financial services meta-system applicable to a range of financial instruments and environments. This system is successfully deployed to Commercial Union (Polska) as their primary strategic Policy Admin system for a range of their products, including one of their flagship Universal Life products.
