IRLA Studio  ·  Port Harcourt, Nigeria

We build technology for problems that matter.

AI systems, software, connected devices. We build what's needed, not what's trendy, and we'd rather tell you no than build something that doesn't hold up.

Software, AI and ML, embedded systems, data, training. All under one roof.
What we do

One studio. Every layer of the stack.

We work across the whole stack, from raw data to physical devices. That means you're not stitching together six different vendors to get something built.

Software & platforms

Web and mobile apps built to last, not just to ship.

Abstract network of connected data points

Data & AI

We turn scattered data into decisions, and decisions into products, using machine learning where it actually earns its place.

Automation

We take the repetitive work off someone's plate and put it in a system that just runs, quietly, in the background.

Embedded & IoT

Sensors and physical devices that report back in real time, wherever you've put them.

Consulting & research

For teams who know something has to change, but aren't sure yet what to build.

Education & training

Hands-on training in the same tools we use to build, every day, not a slide deck version of them.

Products

Something we've actually built.

Featured product

RoleMate

Job hunting takes up time that should go toward the actual career. Every application means the same CV rewrite, the same research, the same waiting.

RoleMate finds roles worth applying to, shapes your CV around each one, and helps you walk into the interview ready. The effort goes into the parts that matter.

  • Intelligent job discovery
  • Tailored CV optimization
  • Interview preparation
  • Career insights

RoleMate is the first product to come out of IRLA Studio, not the last. It's where we tested how we like to build: start with a problem people actually have, then keep refining until the thing works the way it should.

Problems we solve

The friction we're usually called in for.

Manual processes eating up hours that should go to real work.
Decisions made on gut feel because the data lives in five different systems.
Operations with no automation anywhere in the loop.
Outdated systems that were never built to talk to each other.
Physical equipment with zero visibility once it leaves the shelf.
Teams capable of more than their current tools let them show.

Who we serve

Built for anyone serious about the outcome.

If you care more about the outcome than the tech itself, we're probably a good fit.

Our philosophy
We think technology should be useful before it's impressive. Every project starts with the problem before the technology.

Simple beats clever. Doing it properly beats doing it fast. That was true when we started, and it hasn't changed.

Mission

We solve real problems with software, connected systems, and data. That's the whole mission, really.

Vision

We want to build products good enough to matter outside Nigeria, not just inside it. That's the bar, in Africa and everywhere else.

Core values

What we hold ourselves to.

Innovation

We're always looking for a better way to do this.

Excellence

If it's not good enough, it's not done.

Integrity

We say what we mean, and we own it when we get something wrong.

Impact

We measure the work by what changed for you, not by what we shipped.

Collaboration

Your win is the point. We build with that in mind.

Continuous learning

We're still learning too, and we plan to keep it that way.

Have a problem worth solving?

Tell us what you're working on. We'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit for it.

We read every message ourselves. No bots involved.
