San Ramón, Costa Rica · Since 2018

Small team. Big builds.

Vector is a software studio in Costa Rica that takes ownership of every project, from the first conversation to the server it runs on, built from the ground up to bring businesses across Latin America the standards that are usually kept out of reach.

You talk to the people who build it. No account managers, no hand-offs.

01 · The studio

Built like an institution, run like a workshop

Our motto

Marvelous work is specific, competent, shippable, and visibly delightful somewhere inside. It rules out the two ways software goes wrong: careless speed that ships broken things, and perfectionism that ships nothing.

Our promise

Software designed for people, not just for servers.

What we hold to

  • We answer for all of it

    Your site and systems run on servers, backups and monitoring we operate ourselves. When something needs fixing, we fix it, with no vendor to wait on, and you never inherit a black box nobody can open.

  • Senior from day one

    Every project gets senior engineering from the first call. No ticket-passers, no juniors learning on your system.

  • We live with our own work

    Vector runs on software we built: the system that runs our business, the design system behind every page, the watch on our backups. Client work gets the same care, because we depend on it too.

How we use AI

AI works for us. It doesn't decide for us.

We had the stack, the standards, the design and the clients long before these tools came to market. Unlike most companies, we use AI for one thing: getting your deliverables out faster. Every decision is still a person's.

  • Always a personWe are always client facing and always reachable. You talk to us, never to a system standing in front of us.
  • Nothing faceless between you and your customersAutomation should strengthen the human connection that wins the sale, not replace it with something that has no face and costs you conversions.
  • Responsible with your brandWhen AI or automation touches your brand and how you show up, we talk it through with you honestly, including when the right answer is not to.

02 · The owner

Lorenzo Villalobos

Lorenzo Villalobos

  • Owner

I own the stack. Everything Vector builds, ships and maintains, I answer for. I don't cut corners on any of it.

Vector is Lorenzo's company, and every layer of it is his work: the frontend and the backend, the servers and the pipelines, the projects and the clients. He built it from the ground up to cover every area of technology and to move with it, from the days of static HTML to today's autonomous agents.

He spent years inside IT companies watching people fumble at every turn while their clients' businesses paid for it. In those same years he was looking after his own freelance clients and sharpening every skill a business needs from its engineer: design, architecture, development, deployment and the business itself. Vector is what came out of that.

The goal is Latin America. The standards North America too often keeps behind a price tag stop being gatekept here. Vector doesn't ask a business to become someone else's idea of what a company should be, or what it should look like. It honors the brand, the material and the work a client already has, builds on that foundation, and walks beside them as a partner toward their growth, on today's standards. The technology serves the goal, never the other way around. That is why the prices are low, why the stack is locked, and why Lorenzo is so diligent about what ships and how it ships.

How he got here

  1. Inside ITYears on the front lines of support and consulting, watching what goes wrong and why
  2. In parallelHis own freelance clients, and every skill a business needs: design to deployment
  3. 2018Founds Vector in San Ramón and builds it from the ground up
  4. TodayOwner of every layer: product, platform, projects and clients

What that means for a business

  • Fewer tools, fewer billsA business paying for more than fifteen disconnected tools now runs on one system its own staff can manage. No double entry, no subscriptions doing the same job twice.
  • Always know where things standInvoices, files, support and progress live in one place the client can open any time. No chasing emails, no waiting on a status update.
  • Every customer gets through the doorSites that load fast and work on any phone and connection, for people of every ability. The customer who finds you can actually reach you and buy.

03 · Platform engineer

Steven Brenes

I see software as a living body: every module an organ with a clear place in the whole. Nothing is accidental; every piece is a necessary evolution.

Steven is a Computer Engineering graduate with more than six years building software, most of it behind the scenes: the servers, data and connections a business depends on every day. Since 2024 he has carried the backend and infrastructure of the platforms Vector builds and runs for its clients.

His work is the part clients never see and always feel: systems that stay online through every update, data that is protected and recoverable, and connections to payment, tax and government services that have to work every single time.

What that means for a business

  • Your business never goes darkUpdates go live while your customers keep buying, booking and paying. If a release ever misbehaves, it steps back to the last good version on its own, so a bad update never becomes a bad day.
  • Your data is safe, and we prove itYour information is kept apart from every other client's and backed up on hardware we control. We restore those backups on purpose, so recovery is proven long before you would ever need it.
  • Built to grow with youMore customers, more locations, more sales: the foundation carries them without a rebuild, and connects cleanly to the payment, tax and business tools you already use.
