Actuarial Studies & Applied Finance student @ Macquarie University
I focus on risk, capital allocation, and building systems that solve real-world problems.
Most students optimise for grades.
I optimise for leverage, systems, and real-world impact.
A fully self-contained web application built to solve the fragmented actuarial recruitment process.
Check it out yourself: https://rohith-actl.github.io/actuarial-application-tracker/
- Tracks Over 100 actuarial employers across 10 sectors
- Provides application timelines, cohort size, and competition signals
- Includes full application pipeline tracking (Applied → Offer)
- Allows custom datasets (add companies, edit fields, import/export CSV)
- Helped more than 400 students
- Built in vanilla HTML, CSS, JavaScript (no frameworks)
- Zero backend, zero cost, infinite scalability
- Runs entirely in-browser using localStorage
This is not just a tracker — it’s a decision-making tool for navigating a competitive market
I don’t just “study actuarial”.
I build across 3 layers:
- Probability, statistics, financial mathematics
- SQL, Excel, data handling
- Early-stage programming (JavaScript, React)
- Build tools that simulate real-world use cases
- Focus on decision-making, not just computation
- Understanding how firms allocate capital
- Understanding risk beyond models (business, reputation, incentives)
- Thinking in systems, not tasks
- SQL-based data analysis projects (joins, aggregations, business insights)
- Excel financial and actuarial models (cashflows, forecasting, scenario analysis, stochastic modelling)
- Risk modelling concepts (probability-based decision frameworks)
- Actuarial Tracker
- React-based applications (UI + state management)
- JavaScript tools for data interaction and workflows
- Investment analysis frameworks
- Insurance-style modelling concepts
- Capital allocation thinking (inspired by super funds & institutional investors)
Total: 10+ projects across analytics, finance, and web systems
- Excel (Advanced – modelling, analysis)
- SQL (Data extraction, transformation)
- JavaScript (ES6)
- React (Frontend basics)
- HTML/CSS (Full UI builds)
- Deep understanding of Artificial Intellegence
- Probability & statistics
- Financial modelling
- Risk assessment
- Systems thinking
- Decision-making under uncertainty
- Capital allocation mindset
- Expanding the Actuarial Tracker (features + distribution)
- Building higher-signal projects (finance + risk focused)
- Networking with actuaries, consultants, and industry professionals
- Preparing for internships (Actuarial / Investment / Risk)
I am aiming to become:
→ An actuary who understands business, not just models
→ Someone who can move from technical → strategic → capital allocation roles
Long term:
- Investment / ERM / high-level decision roles
- Building assets (equity, businesses, systems)
- Financial systems & wealth building
- Risk and uncertainty
- Business strategy
- Chess
