Insurance

Our Pricing Solutions provides insurers with a modular, transparent approach to insurance pricing.

Property, Life and Health

We partner with insurers in the property, life, and health domain to apply advanced data science and software engineering.

Property Insurance

We develop sophisticated pricing tools for property insurance, specializing in risk assessment and premium calculation. Our solutions handle complex policy structures and integrate with existing actuarial systems through modern R and in-memory database technologies.

Life Insurance

Our team has demonstrated extensive expertise in developing pricing tools for property and life insurance products. Projects involve complex relational data modeling and the use of Shiny, R, dplyr, and dbplyr.

Health Insurance

We support our clients in health insurance with R support, by developing interactive dashboards, deploying and supporting Posit infrastructure solutions, as well as through training and code reviews.

Modular Pricing Solutions

Our Insurance Pricing Solutions provides insurers with a modular, transparent approach to insurance pricing through a clear separation of concerns. We rely on R to give actuaries the maximum control over the calculation. Through our extensive experience in the language, and our open source contributions, we manage to provide an efficient way for pricing, both for prototyping and in production.

DuckDB Labs

I am a Senior Computational Biologist who has been coding in R for over 20 years. Since 5 years I have been hiring Kirill MĂĽller to work with me on select projects. Our interactions are fun and highly productive and he continues to teach me to become a much better programmer.

Joseph Thorley

Poisson Consulting

cynkra has collaborated with our research group in 2022 in the realization of an R-package integrating external libraries. They delivered a robust and reliable solution within the agreed time frame. What I appreciated most was their availability to answer questions and provide feedback even after the conclusion of the project.

R with RAGS: An Introduction to rchroma and ChromaDB

LLM/RAG/R

Large language models (LLMs) are developing rapidly, but they often lack real-time, specific information. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) addresses this by letting LLMs fetch relevant documents during text generation, instead of just using their internal—and potentially outdated— knowledge.
