Director, Software Engineering | Actionable content for leaders in tech. Software engineering, engineering leadership, online business.

I build production AI systems and teach software engineers to do the same.Every week I create real AI systems and automations that save time, save money, and increase leverage. Then I show you exactly how I built them. Complete code. Deployed to production. No theory.I've spent 20 years building software systems and leading engineering teams. Now I'm focused on applied AI - building systems that solve real problems and teaching others to do the same.I run two things:AI Engineer - A community where professional software engineers learn production AI through weekly live builds, code reviews, and hands-on projects. We build together: RAG pipelines, autonomous agents, automations.Leverage AI - Custom AI development for businesses when off-the-shelf tools aren't enough. AI systems, intelligent workflows, and automations that scale your business operations.📩 Get my free weekly newsletter: newsletter.owainlewis.com👥 Join the community: skool.com/aiengineer💼 Work with me directly: leverageai.co
