About Me

Walter van Lieshout - AI & Automation Specialist

Hi, I'm Walter van Lieshout, a senior IT professional based in Campbell River, British Columbia, with over 30 years of experience since 1994.

My career spans coding, networking, systems management, API integrations, cloud solutions, and now AI-powered automation. I'm passionate about making advanced technology accessible for small and medium businesses.

I specialize in coding custom automated solutions (Python scripts, workflows, API connections) and providing hands-on training so your team can build and maintain AI tools independently.

Whether you need to automate tasks, integrate AI into existing systems, or upskill your staff, I deliver tailored, practical solutions.
