Platform Modernization @ Arrowhead Programs

I modernize enterprise workflow systems in regulated environments supporting 200k+ policies and $400M+ in annual payments. My work reduces operational variance and defect risk while preserving revenue and continuity in high-stakes environments. I partner with engineering on system boundaries and sequencing, emphasizing observability and durable system design.

I specialize in surfacing systemic issues and translating fragmented signals into executable initiatives and resilient systems. My work spans redesign, instrumentation, credential migrations, new product development, and enterprise platform modernization.

Arrowhead Exchange Refresh

Arrowhead Exchange serves as the flagship digital portal for Arrowhead Programs (Brown & Brown), supporting workflows across 10 lines of business and serving over 200,000 policies representing $400M+ in annual payments. The platform underwent a major modernization and cutover, shaped by legacy workflow complexity, inconsistent interaction patterns, UI variance, and tightly coupled logic and presentation layers.

I led platform modernization with a focus on variance reduction and scalability. Contributions included simplifying data model surfaces, establishing a reusable component system mirrored in Angular, supporting separation of the presentation layer from embedded business logic, and consolidating previously siloed information architecture patterns across lines of business. I partnered closely with engineering and coordinated UAT/QAT across independently owned product groups to maintain release alignment.

The modernization reduced UI and interaction variance, improving workflow consistency across shared platform surfaces. It strengthened platform stability, minimized disruption during cutover, reduced change friction, and enabled safer iteration across revenue-critical servicing and payment flows.

ComplianceAuth SystemsMigration

User Credential Transition (MFA)

Delivered a compliance-critical MFA rollout under regulatory deadline constraints.

A mandated multi-factor authentication implementation was introduced to maintain New York financial compliance, driving credential migration from legacy authentication into an Entra ID–backed system. The rollout balanced a fixed regulatory deadline, a large active user population, elevated change risk, and potential support escalation.

I designed a staged migration flow using email-based state detection and led redesign of authentication surfaces and transactional communications. I aligned legacy UI and messaging with Azure / Entra patterns while partnering closely with engineering on rollout sequencing and system transition behavior.

13,000+ users converted in the first month—approximately 12% of the active user base—with no compliance lapse and negligible support impact.

Customer Experience Committee

Translated telemetry and cross-functional business input into prioritized workflow and platform improvements.

The committee aligned leadership across Digital, Data, Marketing, and Insurance Product to address fragmented platform signals and backlog expansion. The platform environment was defined by enhancement sprawl, inconsistent prioritization inputs, elevated workflow variance, and concentrated friction within payment and authentication surfaces.

I authored requirements for telemetry-driven dashboards and designed Power BI visualizations translating behavioral signals into decision-ready metrics. I synthesized metrics with stakeholder input to produce a structured, prioritized backlog exceeding 100 initiatives. I redesigned the payment workflow supporting $400M+ in annual payments, targeting reduction of user friction, missed payments, and servicing inefficiencies.

The work reduced backlog entropy, strengthened prioritization clarity, and improved visibility into user behavior and friction patterns.

Customer Experience Pay FunnelCustomer Experience Autopay

Workflow telemetry identified payment review as the primary friction point; the legacy three-step flow was redesigned into a single consolidated interaction with embedded autopay enrollment.

Auto Service Loaner Portal

The incumbent vendor platform experienced sustained reliability decline, introducing instability across dealership workflows. A replacement initiative restored platform control and stabilized system performance, reducing operational friction.

I led requirements definition and system design for a web-based replacement platform spanning vehicle management, claims processing, ID cards, reporting, and billing workflows. I partnered closely with engineering to translate operational needs into system behaviors while aligning modernization scope with organizational constraints.

The new platform transitioned dealerships to an internally controlled system, strengthening workflow consistency and platform stability. It was rolled out across hundreds of locations and adopted by three major OEMs.
