About Steven
I’m a senior full-stack engineer and cloud architect who has spent more than a decade building high-performance, production-grade systems across major Australian enterprises. My background spans frontend, backend, cloud, microservices, and event-driven architecture — and now I apply that same engineering discipline to modern AI systems, local model deployment, and agent-based automation.
I’ve delivered systems that operate at real scale, from Optus’ SUBHUB MVP “serving over 2 million local Australian users” to transforming Woolworths’ loyalty platform where I “increased system performance from 5 TPS to 100+ TPS on a single EC2 instance.” These experiences taught me how to design systems that are fast, reliable, and efficient — the same principles that matter when building AI agents and OpenClaw workflows.
My focus today is helping developers understand AI the way real engineers use it:
running models locally, integrating them with tools, building agents, automating workflows, and deploying practical AI systems that actually solve problems.
This course is built from real engineering experience — not theory. You’ll learn how to:
Set up local AI models (Ollama, LM Studio)
Connect them to OpenClaw
Build agents that use tools, memory, and workflows
Automate real tasks end-to-end
Deploy AI systems the same way we deploy production software
If you want to learn AI from someone who has built large-scale systems, solved real performance problems, and now applies that same mindset to AI engineering, you’re in the right place.
