Spotlight on Data Management at NextGen

Most people hear “Data Management” and think of spreadsheets and servers. But if you ask Kelvin Huang, our Head of Data Management, he’ll tell you it’s actually about something much more personal: Helping people get the keys to their dream home. 

We sat down with Kelvin to pull back the curtain on how his team powers our platform and what drives them every day.

What does the Data Management Team actually do?

Beyond the code, Kelvin’s team acts as the “certainty engine.” They ensure that every serviceability calculation, the math that determines how much you can borrow and repay, is 100% accurate and aligned with specific lender requirements.

Empowering Better Decisions

The goal isn’t just to crunch numbers; it’s to empower brokers. By providing precise data on borrowing capacity and product features, the data team ensures that every customer walks away with a mortgage solution tailored to their unique needs.

The Skills That Matter

In a fast-moving market, Kelvin looks for three things in the team:

1. Deep Expertise: Understanding the “why” behind lender assessments.
2. Agility: Staying in sync with constant market and regulatory shifts.
3. Mindset: A combination of hard work and relentless curiosity.

Looking Ahead

What gets Kelvin most excited? Simplifying the journey.
