The people

Two people.
One studio.

NOVA RIOT SYSTEMS is small on purpose. No layers, no committee, just two founders who build, ship, and answer their own email. Here's who you're dealing with.

What happens when two workaholics try to change a lightbulb? It doesn't get changed, they can work in the dark.

Samu Sirjola
Founder

Samu Sirjola

Samu runs the commercial and on-the-ground side of the studio, sales, trade relationships, and the physical operations behind the tools. He's the one who turns what we build into deals and gets things done in the real world, not only on a screen. He's also taken up coding, and he learns fast, so these days more of what we build has his fingerprints on it, not just the deals around it.

Toni-Matti Lepistö
Founder

Toni-Matti Lepistö

Toni started in sound, eight years as a trained audio engineer in a music studio, then spent years behind a camera as a photographer and videographer. For the last few years he's been deep in AI and software, and today he builds most of what the studio ships: product, engineering, and design. He also answers his own support email.

Product Engineering Design

Built in Espoo.
Shipped to Europe.

We're a Finnish studio and we build like it: privacy first, plain talk, and no promises we can't keep. If you want to reach us, one address gets to both of us, hello@novariotsystems.com.

Org chart complete. Two boxes, one arrow, nobody to escalate to.

The work speaks louder

Enough about us.

The clearest introduction is the thing we've built. Go see Saalis.
