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.

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

Strict-typed TypeScript end to end — this site, CookyChef, and FarMight

Selected Work

Engineering with measurable outcomes.

Nyxora Sentinel

security

Passive security suite for any public domain — grades a site’s security posture and maps the surface it exposes, reading only what is already public.

Outcome

Both tools are live at sentinel.nyxoralabs.com — Scan grading any public domain in a single pass, Recon mapping the same domain’s surface beside it. The first site Scan graded was this one, and the F it returned was its own bug rather than a real finding — the fix became a capability: it now walks the redirect chain hop by hop and reports that the plain-http response carries no HSTS of its own.

  • Nuxt 3

Nyxora Labs — Studio Website

software

Designed and built the Nyxora Labs studio website from scratch — the system you are looking at now.

Outcome

Live at nyxoralabs.com within 3 weeks of founding — near-perfect Lighthouse scores and a hardened security posture, from a full Content-Security-Policy to a complete security-header set. First client enquiry within the first month.

  • Nuxt 3
  • Vue
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS

CookyChef

software

AI food-tech platform from the Headstarter Fellowship, rebuilt in 2026 into the Dopamine Menu — a zero-decision meal picker for ADHD and autistic adults.

Outcome

Currently in private beta with a small group of active testers validating the core loop before a wider build. The pivot traded a broad feature set for one job done well — taking the decision off the table.

  • Next.js
  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS
About

Founder-led, systems-focused.

Edwin Lungatso

Nyxora Labs is founded by Edwin Lungatso — a Nairobi-based software engineer who has co-founded two startups, shipped AI products during a US fellowship, and spent years building production systems where things actually have to work.

Edwin built his engineering instincts across a range of environments: co-founding FarMight, an agritech platform for Kenyan smallholder farmers; shipping five AI products in seven weeks at the Headstarter AI Fellowship in the US; and delivering e-commerce systems for clients at Uppr.works. He co-organises Claude Community Kenya, one of the fastest-growing AI practitioner communities in East Africa.
