Founder & Senior Full-Stack Engineer
I'm Andrés Lastra, a senior full-stack software engineer, technical lead, and founder focused on building scalable software products, AI workflows, and automation systems for modern businesses.
With 9+ years of experience across e-commerce, healthcare, fintech, logistics, communications, and AI automation, I've helped companies design and launch platforms that solve real operational problems — from custom SaaS products and marketplace systems to complex integrations and high-volume communication infrastructure.
My technical background includes React, Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, NestJS, Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, AWS, serverless architectures, APIs, and cloud-native systems. I also work deeply with AI agents and workflow automation, using tools such as LangGraph, CrewAI, Claude/OpenAI APIs, vector databases, orchestration frameworks, and human-in-the-loop review systems.
As the founder of Pluriza, I help businesses move faster by combining software engineering, AI automation, and product strategy. My approach is practical and execution-focused: understand the business problem, design the right system, build reliable technology, and continuously improve it with measurable outcomes.
NVIDIA's GTC 2026 keynote made one thing clear: the age of personal AI agents has arrived. With the NemoClaw stack bringing OpenClaw into the enterprise, and new hardware making local AI affordable, here's what SMBs need to know about the shift from cloud-only AI to a hybrid future.

AI agents are no longer an enterprise luxury. With costs down 90%, open protocols like MCP and A2A maturing, and 58% of US small businesses already using generative AI, 2026 is the year SMBs must build a deliberate agent strategy — or watch competitors pull ahead.

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI connect to any business tool through a single interface. Here's what MCP means for your business, why every major tech company now supports it, and how it eliminates the integration headaches that have held SMBs back.

AI agents are more capable than ever, but the smartest companies know that full autonomy is a liability. Here's why human-in-the-loop AI delivers better outcomes, fewer failures, and real business trust.

The average SMB uses 42 SaaS apps and wastes up to 30% of that spend on unused or overlapping tools. AI agents are changing the equation — not by adding another tool, but by making the ones you already have actually work together.
