About me
Hi, I’m Laurence Svekis, and I’m here to help you learn smarter, build real skills, and confidently use AI and modern tools to create amazing things.
I’m a Google Developer Expert (GDE), international speaker, author, and educator specializing in AI-powered learning, Google Workspace automation, and practical development with Google Apps Script and JavaScript. I’ve been teaching online since 2002 and have helped over two million students worldwide develop real-world skills through hands-on courses, books, and workshops.
My passion is learning with AI—using AI not as a shortcut, but as a powerful learning partner. I focus on helping learners understand how things work, how to apply AI responsibly, and how to build tools that solve real problems. Many of my courses explore how AI can act as a tutor, assistant, or productivity booster inside everyday tools like Google Docs, Sheets, and Workspace.
I’m especially known for:
Google Apps Script & Google Workspace automation
Building AI-powered assistants and learning tools
JavaScript for real-world applications
Using AI to improve learning, productivity, and workflows
I started programming in 1990 and built my first website in 1998. Since then, I’ve worked on countless applications, automation projects, and educational platforms—but teaching has always been at the center of what I do. I love breaking down complex topics into clear, practical steps so you can learn by doing, not just watching.
My courses are designed to:
Be hands-on and practical
Focus on real-world use cases
Help you build confidence, not just knowledge
Show you how to use AI as a learning accelerator
Technology opens doors—but only if you know how to use it. My goal is to help you gain that confidence, build useful skills, and take advantage of the incredible opportunities that modern technology and AI provide.
If you’re ready to learn, experiment, and build—you’re in the right place.
