DevLabs

DevLabs is a 10-person AI consulting and staffing firm based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Founded by Javier Olivieri (Co-Founder & AI Lead, formerly at Nifty Gateway and Securitize) alongside Ramiro Trovant and Tomas De Matos, the company works with startups and mid-market companies across the US, Europe, and Latin America. They position themselves as outcome-focused rather than time-and-materials shops, claiming 40+ AI projects delivered with a 99% client retention rate. Their core pitch: companies are typically two years behind on AI adoption, and they aim to close that gap in weeks.

Services and capabilities

DevLabs offers six headline service areas: AI Strategy & Audit (process mapping, ROI analysis), AI Agents & Automation (LLM agents for critical workflows), Data Analysis & Reporting (dashboards and insights), AI Staffing & Teams (senior engineers on demand), LLM Integration (GPT, Claude, Gemini, custom integrations), and Process Automation (operations, sales, finance workflow optimization).

They also handle mobile app development and UX/UI design. The team's stated approach centers on "AI-first thinking"—asking where AI can create 10x leverage—with a stated policy of deploying only senior engineers with production experience on client work and no junior developers on projects.

Notable work

Three projects are highlighted. Sama Fertility, a US-based fertility care platform, engaged DevLabs for mobile app development and UX/UI design to build a virtual appointments and remote monitoring platform. CTO Joshua Sams said: "We have worked with Devlabs for one year and a half, and we created a great product for fertility treatments." Tenpo, an Argentine fintech for unbanked users, scaled to 2x users after launch and used DevLabs for on-demand developer staffing. Nifty Gateway, one of the world's leading NFT marketplaces, was another client—DevLabs handled engineering work during Web3's peak.

How they work

DevLabs operates remote-first and async-friendly, serving clients globally. They do not publish fixed pricing. Their engagement model centers on outcomes over hours billed. They offer a free 30-minute AI audit as a starting point, where they identify where AI can apply to a client's business.

Team and credentials

The visible leadership consists of three named engineers: Javier Olivieri (17+ years building software, prior engineering leadership roles), Ramiro Trovant (full stack, AI integrations, scalable architectures), and Tomas De Matos (React, Node.js, cloud infrastructure). The company claims 17+ years of combined experience (though this likely understates the actual total across the team). No formal certifications (ISO, SOC 2, etc.) are mentioned. No Clutch or G2 ratings appear in the source material.
