Consultant & hands-on Architect in AI and Cloud Optimized Solutions | Enterprise full-stack Developer | Engineering Excellence Coach

## Abstract

My name is **Bastian Nolte**.
I have over 28 years of professional experience in the IT field, as a **consultant**, **IT architect**, **trainer/facilitator**, and **software developer**, as well as in project management roles with and without personnel responsibilities.

I consider myself more of a **generalist** and **enabler** than a specialist. My broad knowledge allows me to help you find and implement efficient solutions for even complex problems.

I look forward to supporting you in initiating and successfully **driving change** and **innovation** processes.

A key focus of my work is helping clients design and implement **modern**, **reliable**, and **robust** end-to-end solutions that optimally meet **stakeholder needs**. To foster innovation and productivity, I deploy cutting-edge technologies – including deep integration of **AI tools**, such as **skilled AI agent teams**.

I can help you, for example, with consulting on, designing, and implementing cloud-based solutions, single-page applications (SPAs) using Web Components, modern Java/Spring applications, and building an IDP (internal developer platform).

In the last ten years, I have been mainly involved in projects in the insurance, industry and education sectors. My clients include companies like Capgemini Schweiz AG, ista (CK Hutchison), the Swiss Accident Insurance Fund (Suva), CSS Health Insurance, Volkswagen, Siemens, msg Systems, T-Systems and various institutions, like the Berlin State Library, the East Asian Institute, as well as various state authorities and councils.

We use agile development methods, frameworks and mechanisms, such as Scrum, LeSS, Continuous Integration, test-driven development, mob- and pair-programming, combined with process-supporting software like Atlassian JIRA and Confluence.

I possess a broad range of expertise in enterprise software architecture, enterprise development, and AI tooling, as well as in the most common programming languages and frameworks.

Although my current focus is more on consulting and hands-on architecture within the AI and cloud space, this knowledge significantly supports me in collaborating with my clients to design and implement efficient and resilient solutions.

In the RiskPricing programme, the processes for premium assessment and the systems for setting premium rates were redeveloped, taking into account the industry, risk community, bonus-malus and experience rating, and new large claims and reinsurance solutions were also implemented.

A solution was created for analysing the current risk situation and the financial situation, taking into account information from the risk information system and the adcubum SYRIUS insurance software, based on which the premium situation can be assessed and the reduction of compensation reserves calculated.

With the inclusion of the bonus-malus models and the experience rating, simulations can be carried out to set the premium rates in occupational accident and non-occupational accident insurance lines. In addition, the calculation and creation of the basic sheets and the generation of the raw data for digital printing in the context of customer communication take place in the newly created system.
