GC Horizon
I designed a unified platform that centralizes Guy Carpenter's application ecosystem, cloud automation, and integration services. The new system makes it easier for GC's technical teams to manage their entire infrastructure from one place while improving efficiency and governance.

Overview
The GC Horizon project focused on building a comprehensive platform that brings together GC's disconnected technical resources and applications. I collaborated with the Head of Engineering & Architecture, offshore developers, delivery lead, business analysts, and project managers through multiple two-week sprints to create a unified platform that houses three core applications: Application Landscape, Cloud Automation, and Cloud Integration Platform. This zero-to-one redesign involved designing 120 screens that transformed existing functionality into a cohesive system while adding new capabilities to support GC's growing technical infrastructure.
Problem
Guy Carpenter's application data was scattered across multiple systems including MDM, Planview, and CNC, making it hard for technical teams to get a clear view of their infrastructure because the existing systems were unintuitive and not user-friendly. Teams had to manually manage cloud resource provisioning and integration workflows across different platforms, with no centralized way to view application landscapes, track cloud resources, or manage integration flows.
Solution
I designed GC Horizon as a unified platform that centralizes all of GC's technical operations under one roof. The platform houses three integrated applications: Application Landscape provides a clear view of all enterprise applications and their details, Cloud Automation streamlines resource provisioning with automated approval workflows, and the Cloud Integration Platform enables easier setup configurations that reduce redundant development. All three applications share consistent design patterns, making it easy for technical teams to navigate between functions.
OUTCOME
The GC Horizon project successfully created a complete platform design that unifies GC's technical operations. The platform is now live in production and actively adopted by GC's internal teams, with the Application Landscape available to all company employees and the Cloud Automation and Integration tools being utilized by cloud engineers for resource management. The platform design, including 120 screens across three integrated applications, establishes the foundation for GC's technical teams to work more efficiently while maintaining better governance and compliance.
