living proof: overcame near-death chronic illness and kept dreaming big
Living proof: big ups and downs
Two near-death fights in 2020 and 2021. In 2020, doctors told Suriyaa optimistically he had about 3 months of life runway left. Other life challenges piled on. He kept building anyway. Giving up is not an option at all.
Big ups and downs
Two near-death moments in 2020 and 2021. In 2020, doctors told him optimistically about 3 months of life runway left, plus other life challenges. Recovery under pressure, then another fight in 2025/26 while working on himself and keeping shipping.
Tested constantly
Tested constantly by 15+ doctors to keep himself together: labs, setbacks, and days when the body and mind refuse to cooperate, still showing up to perform even at his worst.
Giving up is not an option
Not delayed. Not negotiated. The standard is to keep going.
Hope
Suriyaa still has something during these tough times most people in society don't have anymore: Hope. That is why healthcare and significane stay for a long-time personal. Living proof is the metric.
