  1. A2013

    Freelance web work

    Design and code, self-taught, in Lagos.

    EM
  2. B2016–18

    Andela, Software Developer

    In through freeCodeCamp and Andela’s bootcamp. Placed on client teams in stacks I hadn’t used before, I learned each one by building in it and shipped on schedule.

    EM
  3. C2017

    Bootcamp facilitator and mentor

    The bootcamp was the last stage of Andela’s application process. I took 30+ candidates through it, held the bar, and 90%+ were accepted. Also rewrote the OpenMRS Cohort Builder as a standalone app, and mentored on Codementor, 2017–20.

    EM
  4. D2017–18

    InVision

    Contract, remote, alongside Andela. A large app had to be split into smaller services without breaking it for its users. I built and looked after 9 of them in production, and took on-call shifts so incidents stayed short.

    EM
  5. E2018

    Tech team lead, Andela

    6 developers, 4 client apps. I set the goals, cleared blockers, ran reviews and mentored each engineer, so the projects landed on time.

    EM
  6. F2018–20

    Unbird, first engineer

    A team still deploying by hand. I set up automated tests and deploys, so a release stopped being a manual job, and helped hire the early engineers. Techstars Boulder 2019.

    EM
  7. G2020–22

    PingPong, Co-founder & CTO

    YC W21. Teams across time zones needed to talk without being online together. I built the first version of async video, voice and screen recordings on my own, then led a team of 5 shipping it on web, iOS, Android and desktop.

    EM
  8. H2022

    Grain

    A rewrite stuck for months because it was planned as one big switch. I made it a gradual move, one part at a time. It reached production in about a month and became the team’s playbook.

    EM
  9. J2022–25

    Getro, Senior Engineer

    Networks wanted job boards that read like their own. I built the live editor so they could change boards themselves, AI Matches and search in plain words, and kept the admin portal and design system consistent as they grew.

    EM
  10. K2025

    Getro acquired by Findem

    November 2025. I stayed on through the acquisition to build what came next.

    EM
  11. L2025–26

    Findem, Staff Engineer

    Nov 2025 – May 2026. Built two things. Warm-introduction paths: the strongest route to someone through people you already know, found almost instantly. And hiring with AI agents: agents that work out the ideal candidate, find and contact people, set up applications and grow lists.

    EM
  12. M2025–

    Pradini, Co-founder & CTO

    Oct 2025 – now. Chauffeur-driven car rental for Lagos & Abuja, where everything comes together. I lead one engineer and a crew of agents: agents build, a guard with no model checks, I sign.

Sheet 03 · Off the drawing board

Off the drawing board

Shuhari, Kaizen, Naruto. I keep coming back to the same idea. You grow by doing the work, again.

01 / 05

  • Anime

    Growth, in spite of it all

    Naruto defined my childhood. Growth in spite of every obstacle. Also on the shelf: Attack on Titan, Dororo, One Piece.

  • Archery

    Tolerances, but with a bow

    A single shift in posture moves the arrow. Archery makes you read the wind, the distance and your own stance, then do the same thing again.

  • Reading

    On the stack

    Essentialism, by Greg McKeown. Thinking, Fast and Slow, by Daniel Kahneman. Misbehaving, by Richard Thaler. Cloud Atlas, by David Mitchell. I love micro and macroeconomics: why people and markets behave the way they do.

  • Lagos nights

    After hours

    Exploring Lagos nightlife with friends.

  • What I build to

    Around the world

    The playlist on while the agents run.

Sheet 04 · Notes

In short

I architect solutions, engineer the infrastructure under them, and ship the product. Then I engineer the team around that flow. Today that team is people and AI agents.

I’m Enaho Murphy, a self-taught engineer in Lagos. I’ve been building since 2013, and I still learn by building the thing myself until I understand it.

I start with the shape of the problem and pick the simplest thing that holds: one database, not two, until the need is real. The work I care most about sits underneath the product, where money has to be right, search has to be fast and releases have to be boring. Nothing counts until it ships, so I improve in small steps, and every mistake becomes a check that stops it happening twice.

Code takes the shape of the team that writes it, so I design the team as carefully as the system. Now that team includes AI agents. They work inside a method I call the Jig, after the workshop guide that makes every cut come out the same: Constrain. Contract. Guard. Prove. Sign. I build the jig; AI builds the part.
