Our Purpose

Break dependencies, ask the right questions, and provide insider engineering and management knowledge.


Founded by Marcel Mata in 2017, Guacamaya Labs began addressing the gap of non-technical leaders, who often become dependent on costly and unreliable vendors during their new software journey.

By providing businesses with the engineering management know-how of both people and infrastructure, these businesses become almost operationally independent, and can stand taller before technology services companies.

Whether you are stuck in a bad situation, or want to start a new journey, with over 15 years of experience in backend APIs in government, industrial and financial spaces, we are equipped to provide the lifting guidance to get you moving.

  • 01- Cloud-based APIs management and governance

  • 02- Conflict management between product and technology

  • 03- AI/ML exploration/preparedness

  • 04- Local tech expertise

  • 05- Servant leadership

Full control with the fewest dependencies

Whether you need help facing vendors, re-organizing engineering teams, or cutting down cloud costs, Guacamaya Labs can help you stay agile, independent, and ahead of the curve.
