Capabilities

Systems & Capabilities

The disciplines Nyxora Labs operates across. Each domain is a way of thinking about a class of problem — not a list of technologies.

cloud-infrastructure

Cloud Infrastructure

Designing and operating cloud systems that scale predictably and fail gracefully.

  • AWS architecture and cost optimization
  • Deployment pipelines (CI/CD) on Vercel, Railway, and self-hosted runners
  • Containerization and orchestration with Docker
  • Observability — logs, metrics, traces
Lower monthly cloud spend without dropping reliability
software-engineering

Software Engineering

Building production software the way engineering organizations build it — typed, tested, and maintainable.

  • Full-stack web — Nuxt, Vue, Next.js, React
  • API design — REST, GraphQL, internal service contracts
  • Database modeling with PostgreSQL and Prisma
  • TypeScript-first codebases that survive team growth
Codebases that ship features faster six months in than at week one
automation

Automation

Removing manual work that does not deserve human attention — quietly, durably, and observably.

  • Python tooling — scrapers, ETL pipelines, internal utilities
  • Workflow orchestration and scheduled jobs
  • Scripting for data movement, reporting, and integration glue
  • AI-assisted workflows where the leverage is real
Reports that arrive on time without anyone running them
security-foundations

Security Foundations

Treating security as an architectural concern from day one — not as a final review.

  • Networking and Linux fundamentals
  • System hardening for production workloads
  • Secrets management and credential hygiene
  • OWASP-aware web application practices
Production systems with no exposed credentials in git history
engineering-operations

Engineering Operations

The unglamorous craft of keeping engineering organizations productive over time.

  • Debugging across the stack — frontend, backend, infrastructure
  • CI/CD pipeline design and maintenance
  • Technical documentation that engineers actually read
  • Systems analysis and reliability reviews
Mean time to recovery measured in minutes, not days
Selected Work

Engineering with measurable outcomes.

All work
2024 · Lead Engineer

Distributed Deployment System

cloud

Internal deployment platform replacing manual SSH-based releases for a multi-environment SaaS.

Outcome

Average deploy time reduced from 90 minutes to under 6. Junior engineers shipping to production within their first week.

  • TypeScript
  • GitHub Actions
  • Docker
  • Terraform
  • AWS
2024 · Backend Engineer

Real-Time Analytics Pipeline

software

Event ingestion and aggregation system for a high-volume consumer product.

Outcome

Time-to-insight cut from 36 hours to under a minute. Three product experiments shipped in the time the old pipeline produced one report.

  • Python
  • Kafka
  • PostgreSQL
  • AWS Lambda
2023 · Sole Engineer

Internal Workflow Automation

automation

Replacing six spreadsheets with a typed, observable system of record for an operations team.

Outcome

Reconciliation dropped from 2 hours daily to a 5-minute end-of-day verification. Zero compounding errors in six months.

  • Python
  • PostgreSQL
  • Nuxt
  • TypeScript
About

Founder-led, systems-focused.

Nyxora Labs is founded by Edwin Lungatso, a Nairobi-based software engineer building scalable systems, cloud infrastructure, and security-oriented technology.

Edwin's engineering philosophy is shaped by years of building production systems where reliability, clarity, and operational discipline are non-negotiable. He treats every system as a long-lived organism — designed not just to work, but to be understood, changed, and trusted six months and three engineers later.
