About Sam

I build AI systems that run businesses without me in the room.

Not demonstrations. Not screenshots of a chatbot saying something clever. Working systems that publish content, send messages, track results, generate reports and repair themselves — running every day, on real infrastructure, whether I am awake or not.

What I actually do

My days are spent building and running automation: AI agents that supervise other agents, content pipelines that take a job from start to finished output, and monitoring that detects a failure and fixes it before a human notices something broke.

I run a private knowledge system built from more than sixty full courses — transcribed, indexed and searchable — so that when I need an answer, I am pulling from what experts actually said rather than guessing. That habit is the reason I can teach this honestly.

I work in Claude Code every day. It is the tool I reach for first, and most of what I have built over the last year runs through it in some form.

How I got here

I did not come from a computer science background. I learned this the slow way — building something, watching it break, working out why, and building it again. Thousands of hours of it.

That matters for how I teach. I remember exactly which parts were confusing, because I was confused by them. I know where beginners get stuck, because I got stuck there.

Why I started teaching

I ran a seminar recently and asked a hall of students what they actually do with AI. The answer was unanimous: homework. Paste a question into a chatbot, copy the answer out.

Not one had built an automation. Not one had used Claude. Not one could explain what an AI agent was.

They were bright and curious. Nobody had ever shown them there was a door.

What I teach

Only what I use. If it is on this site, it is something I run myself. I have no interest in teaching theory I have not tested, or tools I do not personally rely on.

I teach beginners, because that is where the gap is widest and the change is biggest. There is no age limit on any course — students, parents and business owners sit in the same room.

Courses run in small live cohorts. Business automation is by enquiry.
