Summary
Justin Phillips is a data and actuarial leader with over a decade of experience modernizing insurance data platforms and delivering auditable, production-grade pipelines. At Pacific Life he advanced from senior developer to Director of Actuarial Data, leading cloud migrations, building reusable ingestion and transformation frameworks, and instituting a data quality framework that reduced downstream model errors. He blends hands-on engineering (Snowflake, dbt, S3, Azure DevOps) with stakeholder-facing domain leadership across finance, reinsurance, and risk to ensure traceability and regulatory alignment. A quick study with strong attention to detail, Justin also mentors engineers, runs Agile teams, and curates domain knowledge to accelerate onboarding and reduce delivery time. Based in California, he pairs a BA in Finance with practical data analytics training, giving him a rare mix of actuarial domain fluency and cloud engineering chops.
