// The instructor
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
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
☁ AWS & Cloud
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
Helping businesses move beyond the hype and into practical AI integration — automating workflows, accelerating decisions, and building tools that actually get used.
⟳ CI/CD
GitHub Actions, AWS Amplify pipelines, automated testing, and deployment strategies that let you ship confidently and continuously.
</> Dev
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.”
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.
