Summary
Aurora Hernandez is a product-focused technology leader with nearly a decade of experience modernizing underwriting platforms and driving cross-functional transformations in insurance operations. As Director of Underwriting Modernization at IFG Companies, she combines engineering rigor and product vision to deliver migrations of dozens of business functions, zero-impact releases, and measurable efficiency gains like 50% faster onboarding and a 15% ROI lift. Her background spans systems analysis, integration leadership, and hands-on development (C#.NET, SQL, C++/Python for sensor research), giving her a rare ability to translate technical constraints into user-centered solutions. Aurora is equally comfortable designing release lifecycles and training programs as she is prototyping algorithms, and she brings a relentless focus on solving real pain points that sustain adoption and revenue growth. Based in Atlanta, she pairs a Computer Science degree with practical experience across cybersecurity, e-commerce, and payments—evidence of a pragmatic problem-solver who keeps a compiler close at hand.
