About Me

Who Am I?

Hi, I’m Dr. Chukwuma Onyeije—a maternal-fetal medicine specialist, tech enthusiast, and advocate for transforming healthcare through innovation and education. With over 30 years of experience in managing medically complex pregnancies, I’ve dedicated my career to combining medicine and technology to empower both clinicians and patients.

From Physician to Coder

My journey into software development started with a simple idea: healthcare professionals deserve better tools to navigate their daily challenges. Frustrated by inefficiencies in clinical workflows, I began creating apps tailored to improve maternal and fetal outcomes. From fetal kick counting to gestational diabetes tracking, these tools are designed to make life easier for physicians while improving care for patients.
Today, my passion lies in exploring the cutting edge of artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and LangChain technologies to drive the future of maternal-fetal medicine.

Why I Write

I created Doctors Who Code as a space for healthcare professionals who, like me, see the potential of technology to revolutionize our field. Whether you’re a physician learning to code or looking to integrate AI into your practice, this blog is where I share practical insights, personal stories, and lessons learned from blending two distinct but deeply connected worlds.

What Drives Me

Innovation: Developing AI-guided tools and digital solutions to tackle real-world healthcare challenges.
Education: Mentoring the next generation of clinicians and launching initiatives like an ultrasound school for midwives to improve prenatal care in underserved regions.
Community Leadership: As a long-time elder in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, I find purpose in inspiring others through faith and service.
