Sample Answer
On a small commercial package implementation, I owned the configuration of underwriting and rating rules for a no-code insurance platform. The carrier’s rules were scattered across a 90-page manual and Excel rate tables, so I started by running working sessions with underwriting, actuarial, and operations to translate narrative rules into precise conditions and outcomes. I documented everything in a rules catalog: one rule per row with trigger, data elements, operator, threshold, outcome, and priority. For rating, I converted their Excel into normalized lookup tables with versioning and effective dates, so they could be imported directly. For underwriting, I created decision tables that mapped to the platform’s rule engine syntax (IF/THEN statements with rule groups and stop conditions). I validated these with sample quotes across 30+ test scenarios, comparing premium and decisions against legacy results. After go-live, manual referrals dropped by about 35% and straight-through processing for clean risks increased from roughly 50% to 75%.

In your civil engineering studies, what specific design coursework or project work did you complete related to irrigation channels or canals (e.g., design of lined/unlined canals, distributaries, minors)? Describe one such design in detail, including how you determined discharge, permissible velocity, section dimensions, and lining choice for Gujarat-type soil and climate conditions.
