Summary
👤
SeniorAndrew Pla is a Co-Founder and Software Architect who blends eight years of full-stack and AI-focused engineering with a decade of professional lighting and production design, building tools that serve the live events and entertainment industries. He’s led global AI initiatives at Neudesic—co-founding an enterprise AI platform (Neutelligent/Nexus) and operationalizing patterns like RAG, Semantic Kernel orchestration, and responsible GenAI—while also shipping large-scale streaming, field management, and BI platforms using React, .NET, Go, and cloud-native Azure/AWS architectures. Equally at home at a lighting console or in CI/CD pipelines, Andrew has moved from hands-on delivery to technical leadership, mentoring engineers worldwide and creating internal training that defined the company’s AI engineer path. He runs two startups (BackOps and Spade Software) focused on live-event software, and his side projects (like MyTeslaStats) show a knack for data-driven product thinking and playful scripting (PowerShell). Based in Columbus, Ohio, he is driven by a mission to merge creativity and code—delivering practical systems that empower artists, crews, and producers.
