Underwriting Copilot
2026Sole developer — Tech Mahindra GLP internship
Problem Life-insurance underwriters read multi-page application packets by hand. The brief: an AI copilot that screens financial viability and routes the easy cases automatically.
Built A scoring pipeline — six-check conflict screen, a weighted rule engine with mortality-evidence-anchored weights (NHANES + NCHS linked mortality data), logistic regression and gradient-boosting models, and an affordability screen — plus a single-file workbench UI that re-derives every score in the browser from exported model coefficients.
Result ~80% straight-through processing on held-out cases; rule weights cross-validated against real Prudential applicant data; deployed and live.
