About
Built in Nairobi.
Lumis Studios is a technology studio focused on shipping software that solves real problems for African businesses and beyond.
Founder
Nzembei Reuben
Software Engineer & Founder
Lumis Studios was founded with a simple belief: that quality software shouldn't require a US-sized budget. African startups and businesses deserve the same technical excellence as companies anywhere in the world.
With a background in computer science and hands-on experience building production systems, Reuben started Lumis Studios to work directly with founders, product teams, and enterprises — shipping products that hold up under real-world use.
The studio operates at the intersection of speed and craft. Fast enough to compete with the pace of modern startups. Careful enough to build systems that scale.
Values
How we think.
Clarity over complexity
We write code that humans can read. Simple systems outlast clever ones.
Ship, then iterate
A working product in users' hands beats a perfect product on a whiteboard. We move fast and improve continuously.
Honest communication
We tell clients what we know, what we don't, and what we're doing about it. No surprises.
Africa-first thinking
We build for the realities of our market — intermittent connectivity, mobile-first users, local payment systems.
