What we do

Consultancy & bespoke engineering.

We work with founders and companies who need a dependable technical partner, from the first roadmap to a product running in production.

Product strategy

From idea to roadmap. We help you decide what to build, why it matters and how to get there without spending money on the wrong things.

02 — Mobile

Mobile & multiplatform apps

Native-quality Android and iOS apps from one shared codebase, built to perform on the devices and networks your users actually have.

Kotlin Multiplatform · Compose · SwiftUI

03 — Platform

Backends, payments & marketplaces

APIs and backend systems built to scale, with the hard parts done properly: local payment integration, payouts, identity verification, notifications and security.

Kotlin · Spring Boot · PostgreSQL

Technical research

Deep dives into emerging technology, feasibility and system design, so your decisions rest on evidence rather than assumptions.

DervLabs Ltd is a technology consultancy and venture studio headquartered in Nigeria. We work where engineering rigour meets product vision, building software that solves real problems for real people.

We are both a parent company and a creative engine. We incubate independent ventures across verticals, and every product under the DervLabs umbrella is held to the same standard of craft, reliability and long-term thinking.

Whether we are shipping for a client or growing one of our own products, the bar stays the same: engineering that scales, design that communicates and software that lasts.
