GhanaWhat I'm looking for
At Jaarah Consult, I own software delivery end to end and have built healthcare products including JClaims and cloud-based JmedCare. JClaims served more than 50 facilities at its peak and helped providers bring deductions on submitted claims close to zero.
I also secure company and client systems and direct operations at Jaarah Consult. My earlier work vetting healthcare claims, alongside my research applying machine learning to medical data, informs my interest in health tech, fintech and cybersecurity.
