I enjoyed working here at BCBS NC. Unfortunately I started suffering from severe epilepsy. I believe it was a result of having taken both the Moderna Covid shot and the following booster shot. I was diagnosed with a photosensitive epilepsy emanating from the occipital lobe. To prevent seizures from occurring I wear strong blue light filter glasses and avoid screens. Working on computers is not an option for me right now. BCBS NC was a positive experience and good place to work.

Working on Facets Product Configuration for an Axiom client, BCBSNC.

I am an Independent Consultant in the department of Bioinformatics and machine learning research.I provide feedback on supervised machine learning algorithm results from healthcare managed care claims and billing data sets. The data sets are comprised of hundreds of thousands of claims data archived over the past decade for use in medical research and financial analysis. My current project is identifying correlations where managed care payers have decreased, or fully disallowed remittance payments. I am HIPAA compliant.
