Building scalable software, cloud infrastructure, automation systems, and security-oriented technology — for teams that take engineering seriously.
The disciplines Nyxora Labs operates across. Each domain is a way of thinking about a class of problem — not a list of technologies.
Designing and operating cloud systems that scale predictably and fail gracefully.
Building production software the way engineering organizations build it — typed, tested, and maintainable.
Strict-typed TypeScript end to end — this site, CookyChef, and FarMight
Removing manual work that does not deserve human attention — quietly, durably, and observably.
Treating security as an architectural concern from day one — not as a final review.
The unglamorous craft of keeping engineering organizations productive over time.
Passive web security posture scanner — grades a site’s HTTP headers, cookies, email and DNS hygiene, and TLS from the outside, using only what the server already tells any visitor.
Live at sentinel.nyxoralabs.com, grading any public domain in a single pass. The first site it scanned 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.
Designed and built the Nyxora Labs studio website from scratch — the system you are looking at now.
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.
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.
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.
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.
