A track record, year by year.

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.

Problem

Security posture decays quietly. Headers drift during a redesign, a cookie loses a flag, the DNS records that stop someone spoofing your domain were never set at all. None of it breaks the site, so nobody looks — and the checks that would catch it are scattered across a handful of single-purpose tools, each grading one slice, none of them telling you where you actually stand.

Solution

Built Sentinel to run the whole set in one pass from outside the perimeter: HTTP security headers, cookie attributes, email and DNS hygiene, and TLS and certificate posture, resolved into a single graded report. Passive by design — it reads only what a server already returns to any visitor, so there is nothing to install, no credentials to hand over, and nothing that could disturb the site being scanned.

Outcome

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.

Problem

Nyxora Labs needed a public presence that communicated engineering credibility without looking like a generic developer portfolio or SaaS template.

Solution

Built a statically generated Nuxt 3 site with a deliberate design system — Space Grotesk, purple/cyan palette, node diagram backgrounds — targeting the aesthetic of Linear, Vercel, and Palantir. Performance-budgeted from day one.

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.

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.

Problem

CookyChef began at the Headstarter AI Fellowship in 2024 as an AI food-tech platform — calorie tracking, recipe generation, pantry management. But the barrier its users hit was never features; it was the decision itself. For an ADHD or autistic brain, "what should I eat?" is where meal planning stalls, and every extra option made it worse.

Solution

Rebuilt in 2026 with co-founder Peter Kibet (Spidey Labs) into the Dopamine Menu — a single-purpose tool. One tap returns one meal matched to a saved sensory profile (texture, temperature, energy level), backed by remembered safe foods, object-permanent push reminders, and recipes shown one step at a time. Built in public, shaped by feedback from the ADHD community.

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.

Built and structured the community infrastructure for Claude Community Kenya — a growing professional AI community across Nairobi and beyond.

Problem

Kenyan developers and professionals had no dedicated space to learn, share, and build with Claude. Informal WhatsApp groups lacked structure and signal-to-noise ratio was poor.

Solution

Co-organised CCK from the ground up — designed the group structure across seven professional lanes (Founders, Developers, Consultants, Marketing, Students, Finance, Legal), wrote the community rulebook, and ran technical events including AI workshops and the first Claude Code event in Kisumu.

Outcome

Active growing community with structured professional sub-groups. Events run across Nairobi and Western Kenya in partnership with Zone01 and ALX.

Agritech platform connecting Kenyan smallholder farmers to agrovets, agricultural specialists, and on-site services.

Problem

Smallholder farmers in Kenya lacked affordable access to expert advice, quality inputs, and on-site services like soil testing. Knowledge and market access gaps were compounding poor yields.

Solution

Co-founded FarMight and led all technical decisions as CTO — designed a multi-sided marketplace where farmers could book expert consultations, procure agricultural inputs, and schedule on-site services. Led architecture from inception to investor pitch stage.

Outcome

Pitched to investors in early 2024 for $25,000 in seed funding, with a beta running through 2024–2025 while modelling for scale across Kenya. The venture wound down in April 2025 when the VC funding environment collapsed and the seed round did not close.

Full-stack e-commerce solutions for businesses transitioning from physical-only operations to online storefronts.

Problem

SME clients had no online presence and no clear path to digital sales. Existing solutions were either too expensive or too generic to fit their brands.

Solution

Built and delivered custom e-commerce storefronts across a diverse client base — corporations, artists, and organisations. Handled branding, development, and post-launch support across multiple concurrent projects within tight timelines.

Outcome

Improved system reliability across deployments through structured debugging and root cause analysis. Clients reached new customer segments beyond their local footprint.

Seven-week intensive fellowship shipping five AI-powered products in five weeks under real deadlines.

Problem

Each week a new project with a five-day deadline — smart pantry tracker, AI flashcard generator, professor-student matching platform, and more. No extensions, no exceptions.

Solution

Worked within agile cross-functional teams across product, design, and engineering. Shipped all five projects within the fellowship timeline using AI-assisted development workflows.

Outcome

All five projects delivered on schedule. CookyChef — the capstone — grew into a standalone AI food tech startup.
