Doctors Who Code

By Chukwuma Onyeije, MD, FACOG | Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist & Founder, Doctors Who Code Atlanta Perinatal Associates Suggested Meta Description: A practicing MFM physician-developer deconstructs how to build a zero-dependency clinical decision support tool for fetal growth restriction management — from SMFM protocol to deployed microsite. It was a Tuesday evening consult. A doctor called […]

As a physician-developer and a 60-year-old endurance athlete living with Type 2 diabetes for over two decades, I have navigated a unique intersection of medicine, technology, and personal health. My journey is a constant balancing act between the drive for athletic performance and the non-negotiable demands of glycemic control. This personal challenge is the crucible […]

By Dr. Chukwuma Onyeije A few days ago, a consult reminded me why I started this blog . A colleague mentioned a new patient with a complex presentation of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), specifically a challenging case of placenta percreta. I had an old slide deck on the topic, but I knew it was outdated. […]

Everything else is just efficiency.”— Andrej Karpathy, on his micro-GPT release, February 2026 As physicians, we are trained to meticulously gather and synthesize vast amounts of information before making a critical decision. We review […]

By Chukwuma I. Onyeije, MD, FACOGMaternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist, Medical Director at Atlanta Perinatal Associates, Founder of CodeCraftMD I was reviewing evidence-based counseling guidelines for low-dose aspirin in preventing preeclampsia when something bothered me. Not the science—that was solid. The Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine recommendations are clear, the evidence is strong, and the logic holds up […]

In my last post, I shared my journey into building an OpenClaw agent to gain deeper visibility into the development process. As someone fascinated by the intersection of medicine and code, the promise of a highly autonomous, transparent agent was too intriguing to pass up. However, after a period of active experimentation, I have decided […]

Why Code, Clinical Rigor, and Credibility Matter in the Age of TikTok Medicine When Algorithms Enter the Nursery A mother announces she will refuse vitamin K for her newborn. Not because of documented allergy. Not because of carefully researched religious exemption. Because she “heard something bad about it online.” When I ask what she heard, […]

By Chukwuma Onyeije, MD, FACOGMaternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist | Founder, CodeCraftMD | Atlanta Perinatal Associates Here’s the truth about being a physician-developer: you learn by breaking things on purpose. Earlier this week, I set up an OpenClaw agent on Cloudflare. Not because my clinical workflow desperately needed it. Not because I had some grand vision of […]

The Physician-Developer’s Blueprint for Rural AI That Works By Chukwuma Onyeije, MD, FACOGMaternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist & Founder, CodeCraftMD In Part 1, I showed you the math: $50 billion for AI “transformation” while cutting $137 billion from rural Medicaid. A textbook bait-and-switch where vendor-built “avatars” replace actual clinical capacity. But physician-developers don’t just identify broken systems. […]

How AI “Transformation” Became Cover for Abandoning Rural America By Chukwuma Onyeije, MD, FACOGMaternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist & Founder, CodeCraftMD The pitch sounds good if you don’t look too closely. Fifty billion dollars for “AI transformation” in rural healthcare. Digital assistants bringing 24/7 medical expertise to communities that can’t retain physicians. The promise of technology bridging […]

The history of medicine is, at its core, a history of how we manage information. For decades, Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) has been our North Star—a rigorous framework designed to move us from “eminence-based” anecdotes to “evidence-based” certainty. It was a monumental achievement. But we are currently witnessing a quiet yet profound shift in the very […]

In the world of high-risk pregnancy, minutes matter. Whether we are managing a case of preeclampsia or coordinating a fetal intervention, the clinical stakes are immense. Yet, as a Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) specialist, I’ve found that the biggest hurdle to patient care often isn’t the pathology—it’s the paperwork. Specifically, the Prior Authorization (PA). At CodeCraftMD, […]
