WHO I AM 👤
Just a guy from Taraba
building from Lagos 🇳🇬
I'm Nyuiring-yoh — but everyone calls me Shifu (iamnotshifu). Self-taught developer who started coding in 2020 because I had a problem to solve and no money to pay someone else. That's still the same energy. 😄
I founded WishIT (Emotional Tech for moments that matter), building NFORSHIFU LOGICFORGE LTD, and I'm in my final year at Babcock University — B.Sc. Computer Information Systems. Thesis: HealthHub AI — healthcare triage in Nigerian languages.
Outside of code, I document the journey. The wins, the failures, the "why won't this build" moments. Building in public is how I stay accountable — and hopefully useful to someone coming behind me.

Ship, then improve
Shipped > perfect. I'd rather release v1 and iterate in public than polish a private idea forever. Execution creates momentum. Feedback sharpens direction.
Naija-to-global
Built from Nigeria. Designed for the world. Power cuts and slow Wi-Fi trained me. If it works here, it works anywhere.
Document everything
The internet gave me leverage for free. I pay it forward — share the path so the next builder doesn't start from zero.
Impact over impressions
I measure success by usefulness, not vanity metrics. If what I build helps someone ship faster or access opportunity in their language — that's the win.
Context is everything
Building for Lagos isn't the same as building for San Francisco. Device limits, bandwidth realities, language diversity — I design for real-world conditions.
WHAT I DO
The Three Pillars
of my work (so far)
Founding, engineering, and learning — all at the same time. It's a lot, but it keeps things interesting.
Engineering
Automation APIs, open-source libs, scalable frontends. Code that solves something and runs itself.
AI Product Engineering
HealthHub AI — making healthcare accessible in 10+ African languages. Not a researcher; a builder who gives cares.
THE LAB 🧪
Projects & Stuff I've Built
From Emotional Tech to open-source tools — this is where the ideas become actual things.
🏆 FLAGSHIP · LIVING DIGITAL TRIBUTES FOR LIFE'S MOST MEANINGFUL MILESTONES

HealthHub AI
Engineered an offline-first health guidance system supporting 5 Nigerian languages (English, Pidgin, Hausa, Yorùbá, Igbo) with zero internet dependency. Designed to reach 40% of rural Nigeria lacking reliable connectivity. Final-year B.Sc. thesis at Babcock University, defending May 2026.
Technical Proof of Concept / Design Sprint2023 — July (8-day sprint)
Threads Website Clone
Reverse-engineered and shipped a fully-functional web version of Threads with advanced features (swipeable media, autoplay, like counters) in 8 days. Demonstrates rapid frontend execution, design translation, and complex interaction logic under tight deadlines.

CAMPAIGN · CASE STUDY Valentine's Campaign
Visibility-for-Value 💝
3 Websites. 0 Flowers.
Valentine's 2026 — instead of buying gifts, I built platforms. Three African brands. Three websites. Because visibility is how small businesses grow, and that felt like a better gift. 💡
Djande Tech Store
Computer Village, Ikeja
One of Lagos's busiest tech shops. Built a premium landing page that establishes trust and makes it easier for customers to find and contact them.
Structured digital presence; increased inbound enquiries.
Love is connection — and technology bridges it.
Tinuke's Atelier
Lagos, Nigeria
Inclusive ready-to-wear fashion. Mobile-first site with WhatsApp ordering and a clean aesthetic that lets the clothes speak first.
Improved brand positioning; direct WhatsApp conversion flow.
Love is celebrating everybody — every curve, every story.
Hope for Widows & Orphans
Bamenda, Cameroon
25+ years of community impact. Built a site that communicates their mission clearly and extends their reach beyond Cameroon.
Extended digital reach beyond Cameroon; clearer donor communication.
Love is action that restores dignity.
B.SC. THESIS PROJECT 🎓
HealthHub AI
my final year project
Symptom triage in 10+ African languages — Pidgin, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo & more. Not a researcher, just a student who saw a real problem. Graduating 2026. 🙏
The Problem 🏥
Most healthcare apps assume English fluency. In Nigeria, that excludes a huge population. HealthHub AI does symptom triage in languages people actually speak — including Pidgin.

EXPERIENCE 💼
Where I've Learned
and what stuck
Three internships. Three very different environments. Each taught me something I couldn't have learned from YouTube.
Vas2Nets Technologies
Software Engineering Intern
First real exposure to production-level automation. Built custom APIs that reduced manual workflows by 90% — proving the best software quietly removes friction.
IDS Africa / Channels TV
Frontend Developer Intern
Led the full design and deployment of ids-africa.com from structure to production. Delivered under real-world expectations. Earned trust by shipping, not by being the loudest in the room.

I document
everything.
The power cuts, the slow internet, the "this should work but why isn't it working" nights — I share all of it.
Documenting your journey is one of the most underrated things a developer can do. It holds you accountable, creates a trail others can follow.
I post build logs, share insights, break down things I learned, and try to represent what African devs are capable of globally. 🌍

Naija Tech
What it's really like to build products from Lagos
Build logs, project previews, dev life from Lagos. Where I show the messy middle and some cute photos.
GitHub
iamnotshifuOpen source code, projects, and contributions. Everything is public by default.
Long-form reflections on building, learning, and the Nigerian tech space.
TikTok
@iamnotshifuuShort-form dev content. Build in public, share the process. Dance and CapCut videos.
✨ THE GOAL
Not just to build cool things — but to show that it's possible to build them from here. Follow along if that energy resonates. 🤝

the soundtrack to building
Code goes harder when the music hits right. This is what's been on repeat through late nights and build sessions.
