Nic Brown

AWS Solution Architect AI Integration Specialist 26-Year IT Veteran

I’ve spent 26 years inside real systems — as a systems engineer, network engineer, developer, and AWS solution architect. Today I help businesses adopt AI and build more efficient workflows. And I teach what took me years to learn, with zero fluff and production-grade depth.

// How I got here

Built from the ground up — literally.

It started early — pulling apart computers, swapping out hardware, learning whatever OS I could get my hands on. That hands-on instinct never left. I went deep on systems engineering first: infrastructure, servers, bare metal. Then networking — routers, switches, protocols, understanding exactly how data moves.

Then I learned to code — not to become a full-time developer, but because real architects need to understand how software actually behaves. That breadth became my edge. On AWS, I design the kind of systems where every component earns its place.

Now I consult with businesses on AI adoption and process efficiency — and I teach at homegeek.tv, because the courses I needed 15 years ago didn’t exist. They do now.

// Areas of expertise

Built at the intersection
of architecture and code.

☁ AWS & Cloud

Cloud Architecture

Designing scalable, cost-effective systems on AWS — Amplify, Lambda, RDS, CloudFront. The full stack, with an architect’s eye for what belongs where.

◈ AI Adoption

AI & Workflow Automation

Helping businesses move beyond the hype and into practical AI integration — automating workflows, accelerating decisions, and building tools that actually get used.

⟳ CI/CD

CI/CD & DevOps

GitHub Actions, AWS Amplify pipelines, automated testing, and deployment strategies that let you ship confidently and continuously.

</> Dev

Full-Stack Development

Building real applications from database to UI — not just tutorials, but complete projects with production-grade patterns and the judgment to know when to break the rules.

// Why homegeek.tv

“There’s no shortage of tutorials on the internet. What’s missing is depth — the kind you only get from someone who’s designed the systems, debugged the 3am pages, and shipped things that actually matter in production.”

— Nic Brown, founder of homegeek.tv

I built homegeek.tv for developers who are serious about cloud and AI — people who can code, who want to understand architecture at real depth, and who are tired of courses that stop right before the interesting part. Every course here reflects how I actually work: the tradeoffs, the gotchas, the patterns that hold up in production. Not how it looks on a whiteboard.
