Ikenna Emeruche(MBBS)

I’m a medical doctor, and for the past 5+ years I’ve also been building frontend web and mobile products with React, React Native, Next.js, and TypeScript. Most people see those as two separate worlds, but I’ve always viewed them as connected. Medicine taught me how to solve problems that actually matter, and engineering taught me how to scale solutions beyond one patient at a time. I didn’t start out writing code. Before engineering, I tried everything I could touch on the internet: blogging, a small crypto exchange, dropshipping, affiliate marketing. And all of them failed. Those failures pushed me toward the question that changed everything: how do the tools we all rely on actually work?

That curiosity finally caught up with me in my third year of medical school. Between classes and late-night studying, I taught myself web development. The moment I built my first working interface from scratch, I knew I had found the second half of my career.

My focus now is clear: healthtech is the future, and I want to help build it. Healthcare needs faster systems, smarter workflows, AI‑supported decisions, and tools created by people who truly understand clinical realities. The blend of medical insight and engineering ability is uncommon, and it’s the space I intend to grow in over the next decade.

Outside work, I make talking‑head videos on Instagram, break down complex ideas in simple ways, and build small tools that make everyday life easier.
