Michael Anokwulu
Pharmacist
Software Engineer
HealthTech Builder
I build technology at the intersection of healthcare, software and AI.
As a pharmacist and software engineer, I am interested in solving healthcare problems from both sides of the table: understanding the problem firsthand, then building the technology to address it.
Both sides of the table.
Five years of pharmacy training, then software engineering,
so the clinical problem and the codebase are the same conversation.

Why healthcare + technology
Healthcare problems are often deeply human, but many of the tools used to solve them are technological.
My work sits at that intersection. I combine pharmaceutical training with software engineering, product development and technical SEO to build digital products for healthcare professionals.
The gap I keep running into is not a shortage of engineers or a shortage of clinicians; it is the translation between them. A pharmacist can describe exactly where a workflow breaks; an engineer can build something that does not break that way. When one person holds both, the round trip collapses from months to an afternoon.
What that looks like in practice.
I can read a clinical guideline and a stack trace on the same afternoon.
I do not need a requirements document to understand why a pharmacist
abandons a form halfway through. I have abandoned it myself.

Background
- First Class Pharmacy graduate, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka.
- Best Graduating Student, Department of Pharmaceutics & Pharmaceutical Technology.
- Software Engineering graduate, ALX Africa, a twelve-month full-stack programme.
- Former Information Technology Manager, International Pharmaceutical Students’ Federation, The Hague.
- Finalist, IPSF World Congress hackathon, Seoul.
- Tutorial master through pharmacy school, every year until graduation.
- Mentor to young pharmacists from the RxHustle community making the move into technology.
Why the two tracks matter together.
The pharmacy degree is not a detour from engineering and the engineering is
not a hobby beside pharmacy. Each one is the reason the other is useful.

Writing & ideas
I write about healthcare technology, software engineering, AI, technical SEO and the lessons that only show up once you have shipped something to real professionals.
Lately that has meant governance in clinical software, the cost of ignoring technical SEO while a platform grows, and a production incident I would rather have learned about from someone else.
On writing in public.
Building in healthcare means asking people to trust you with something that
matters. Writing is how you show the reasoning before you ask.
