Hi, I'm Andres

Running an experiment: can one person + AI build real companies?

What I'm building

Brainz Lab

AI Infrastructure

AI-native infrastructure. Logs, errors, APM, feature flags. Self-hosted, open source. Giving AI the eyes it needs to actually run things.

LexPro

Legal Tech

Legal management for LATAM. Built 100% with Claude. Real product, real users. AI does the heavy lifting, lawyers do the important work.

The experiment

I want a "morning ritual" - check in, make decisions, AI handles the rest.

Product development. Deployments. Support. Operations.

Not AI-assisted. AI leading.

Building in public. Let's see how far this goes.

Background

13+ years building software. Rails since 2012. Led teams, built ERPs, scaled platforms across LATAM.

Head of Engineering at Picap LATAM. CTO at Symplifica. Director of IT at ROEPA International.

Now: one founder. AI team. Multiple products.

The best code builders are great readers and writers. That's what this is really about.
