At a Glance // Quick Introduction
Who am I?
I’m Steven — a technology trainer, consultant, architect, and builder based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
For more than 24 years, I’ve worked across enterprise IT, infrastructure, cloud, automation, virtualization, Linux, Microsoft technologies, and now increasingly, Artificial Intelligence.
I don’t just teach technology. I build with it, break it, test it, deploy it, and then teach people how it actually works.
What I do?
I design and deliver technical training, consulting, proof-of-concepts, labs, automation, and real-world technology solutions.
My work spans Linux, Red Hat, Microsoft Azure, Power Platform, VMware, containers, Kubernetes, Ansible, Terraform, Generative AI, Agentic AI, and modern application development.
The technology changes. The objective stays the same: understand it properly and make it useful.
Why are you reading this?
You probably landed here because you attended one of my training sessions, worked with me, heard my name from a colleague, or simply followed a link somewhere on the Internet.
Whatever brought you here — welcome.
This site is where I share who I am, what I’ve built, and how I teach.
What should you do now?
Look around.
Get to know my background, the projects I’ve delivered, and the training I run, from Linux and Red Hat to cloud, automation and AI.
If something here matches what you or your team needs, let’s talk. That’s what this site is for.
Where to meet me?
If you want to discuss training, consulting, technology projects, collaboration, or an idea worth building, get in touch.
For anything serious, we can arrange a proper conversation.
Do you work outside Malaysia?
Yes.
I’ve delivered training and projects across Asia, Africa and the Middle East, on-site or remotely.
Wherever your team is, we can make it work.

What clients say
“Steven took our infrastructure team from basic Linux administration to running OpenShift with confidence. Every module was built around our own environment, so the team applied what they learned the following week.”
“Rare combination of deep hands-on expertise and real teaching ability. Complex topics became practical, and the labs mirrored the problems we deal with in production.”
“Steven designed and delivered the platform work on schedule and documented everything so our own engineers could run it after handover.”
“Our participants consistently rate Steven among our highest-scoring instructors. He adapts to every audience, from junior engineers to senior architects.”
“Practical, honest advice on where AI actually fits in our operations, followed by a working proof of concept instead of a slide deck.”
