About Trip Derham

Where insurance, software, and curiosity meet.

Trip Derham is an insurance professional and software builder whose work connects specialty-risk knowledge with practical web systems. This site collects the tools, references, archives, and experiments that have grown out of that overlap.

  • Specialty insurance
  • ASP.NET & Visual Basic
  • SQL & document systems
  • Digital archives

Professional + technical

A practical builder’s mindset

Insurance work depends on precision: the right information, the right document, and the right decision at the right time. Software offers a way to turn that discipline into repeatable systems. Trip’s projects bring the two together through underwriting utilities, document workflows, operational tools, and focused applications built around real processes.

Much of the software represented here is built with ASP.NET and Visual Basic, supported by SQL, JavaScript, PDF tooling, and a growing library of reusable controls. The common thread is utility—making complicated work clearer, faster, and easier to maintain.
