Architect, Technical Advisor & Proud Dad
Thirty years of heavy systems, now backing Aisla.
Iñaki is a software and hardware systems architect with nearly thirty years of mission-critical engineering: CTO of e-Pass Philippines, VP of Technology & Special Projects at PhilWeb and national-scale integration work with DataBridgeAsia. He advises organizations whose platforms cannot afford to go down. That same experience backs Aisla, the AI engineering studio of his son, Manolo.
Based in North Vancouver, BC, Iñaki handles senior architecture, system design, and direct client planning. Backing the team is our full-time, trusted engineering back office in the Philippines, delivering hands-on development, data preparation, and long-term maintenance at honest, sensible rates. You get seasoned architectural judgment without agency overhead, and full team execution without enterprise bloat.
The Studio
Iñaki Matute
Technical Advisor & Lead Systems Architect
Iñaki brings nearly thirty years of enterprise architecture experience to Aisla, built across toll collection networks, national registries and gaming infrastructure that cannot go down. He leads senior system design and client strategy from Vancouver, applying the same discipline that kept mission-critical systems running for decades to the AI workflows Aisla builds today.
Manolo Matute
Founder & Lead Software Architect
Manolo founded Aisla to bring that same fail-proof engineering standard to growing businesses and clinics. He designs the software layer, from AI workflows to the client-facing tools your team uses every day, and leads the full-time engineering team that builds, tests and maintains every system Aisla ships.

Manila, PH
A full-time, in-house engineering team through Hopla Online, delivering hands-on development, testing and long-term maintenance at honest, sensible rates.

From heavy data to boringly dependable AI.
Our engineering lineage began in the trenches of mission-critical databases, network security, and high-concurrency infrastructure. Today, we take modern machine learning out of notebooks and wire it directly into the everyday software your business runs on. The rule has never changed: if it breaks under pressure or demands constant babysitting, it wasn't built right.
