Hi, I’m Suraj.

I’m a pediatrician, but medicine is only one part of who I am.

I’ve always been curious about how things work — whether that means understanding a difficult clinical problem, building something on the internet, figuring out a better way of doing things, or simply going down an unexpected rabbit hole at 2 in the morning.

That curiosity has followed me into almost everything I do.

Outside the hospital

A large part of my life revolves around medicine, but I don’t particularly enjoy putting myself into a single box.

I like technology, design, entrepreneurship, science, writing and creating things.

I enjoy taking an idea that exists only in my head and turning it into something tangible — a website, an app, a video, a new project or sometimes just a better way of explaining something.

That is probably why I find the internet so interesting.

It gives you the ability to learn from almost anyone, build almost anything and share it with people you may never meet.

Why I make videos

At some point, I realised that many of the questions parents ask in a clinic are the same questions thousands of other parents are asking online.

So I started making videos.

Not because I wanted to become an “influencer,” but because I found something strangely satisfying about taking a complicated subject and reducing it to something that makes immediate sense.

A good explanation should make you think:

“Oh. Now I understand.”

That’s what I try to achieve.

Some of my videos begin with questions I’ve heard in practice. Others come from things I see parents repeatedly searching for online.

And occasionally, I make a video simply because I find the subject interesting.

I like building things

Medicine taught me how to solve problems within an existing system.

Technology has made me interested in building the system itself.

I’ve spent a lot of time experimenting with websites, software, AI and digital products — sometimes successfully, sometimes very much not.

I’ve worked on ideas ranging from pediatric tools and calculators to healthcare software and digital platforms.

I enjoy that process: spotting a problem, questioning why it exists, and trying to build something better.

What I’m trying to build

Over time, I’ve become increasingly interested in the intersection of medicine, technology and communication.

There is an enormous amount of medical knowledge in the world.

The difficult part is often making that knowledge accessible, understandable and useful.

Whether that’s through a consultation, a short video, a website, an app or something I haven’t thought of yet, that’s the space I want to keep exploring.

A few things I enjoy

• Good design.
• Simple things that have been thought through carefully.
• Reading about people who built unusual things from scratch.
• Technology and following where it is going.
• Science, philosophy and art.
• The occasional completely unnecessary deep dive into some random subject.
• Starting new projects.

Some become useful.

Some become lessons.

A few become both.

Why this website exists

This website is my little corner of the internet.

It’s a place to put together the different parts of what I do — medicine, education, technology and the things I’m curious about.

You can find my professional work here, but you can also find the things I’m building, thinking about and creating.

If you came here looking for my medical qualifications, you’ll find those on my CV.

If you’re here to get to know the person behind the white coat, you’re in the right place.

Stay in touch

I share pediatric education and other things I’m working on through my social channels.
