The Evolution of Cloud Adoption in Insurance: Guidewire’s Strategic Vision (Published)
Cloud computing has evolved from an optional technology investment to a fundamental business necessity within the insurance industry, creating transformative opportunities amid mounting challenges. The global insurance sector faces intensifying pressure from legacy system costs, insurtech disruption, and tightening profit margins, making technological advancement essential for competitive survival. Guidewire’s cloud-native solutions address these challenges by providing specialized platforms for insurance-specific workflows, compliance requirements, and integration needs. The company’s strategic position leverages continuous delivery capabilities, AI and advanced analytics integration, and ecosystem expansion through APIs to reshape how insurers operate. Despite impressive benefits in operational efficiency, underwriting accuracy, and customer engagement, insurers must navigate technical challenges including data security concerns, performance scalability requirements, and migration complexity. The economic impact extends beyond IT cost savings to include reduced capital expenditure, predictable operational expenses, faster time-to-market, improved underwriting results, and enhanced customer retention, positioning Guidewire as a pivotal enabler in the industry’s technological evolution toward cloud-native insurance operations.

Leveraging ML for Anomaly Detection in Healthcare Data Warehouses (Published)
The rapid emergence of digitalisation leads to unprecedented growth in the generation of the healthcare sector-particularly EHRs and medical equipment data. This extended the way for challenges for integrity in managing data and anomaly detection, including fraudulent transactions, medication errors, and many more system failures. Modern healthcare data poses a challenge to traditional methods of anomaly detection due to high and complex dimensionality. Machine learning provides a strong solution, using algorithms such as Gaussian Mixture Models, One-Class SVM and deep learning algorithms such as Autoencoders, and Recurrent Neural Networks in the detection of anomalies in healthcare data warehouse settings [1]. This study reports how ML can help advance care for patients, enable the validity of the data and reduce costs through real-time monitoring, fraud detection, and early detection of diseases. Applying anomaly detection through ML would most likely bring better operational performance, patient safety, and decision-making in health care for organizations as issues of poor data quality, lack of interpretability of models, and real-time detection would be addressed [2].

Development of Secure Cloud-Based Government Solutions (Published)
Government agencies face significant security and efficiency challenges when adopting cloud solutions. These challenges include data breaches, unauthorized access, and compliance with stringent regulatory standards. This paper explores the development of secure and efficient cloud-based solutions tailored specifically for government needs, aiming to address these critical issues. These solutions protect sensitive government data by focusing on robust security protocols, advanced encryption methods, multi-factor authentication, and continuous monitoring. Additionally, integrating technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning enhances the ability to predict and mitigate potential threats. Compliance with regulatory standards, such as those set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and ISO 27001, is emphasized to ensure global security adherence. Implementing “Security by Design” and Zero Trust Architecture further strengthens the security framework. This research highlights the importance of a multi-faceted approach, including collaboration with cloud service providers, regular security audits, and employee training programs. Developing secure cloud-based solutions enhances national security and improves public service delivery, making it a vital endeavor for government agencies. Future research should explore emerging technologies and international cooperation to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats.
