About Dheeraj Sharma
Julley, I'm Dheeraj, an AI systems builder & founder of GenAI Unplugged.
I teach founders, creators and tech teams to build AI systems.
I spent 20 years building production-grade software for enterprises. The kind that has to survive real scale, security reviews, and tight budgets. Now I bring the same engineering standards to AI, with Claude Code & Cowork as my engineering team.
I run my business and content pipeline end to end on an AI operating system I built.
More than 18,000 people now learn from me how to build the same kind of thing for their own businesses or content operations, without an enterprise budget.
Before AI, I ran a Himalayan travel blog for 16 years. (Julley is how we say hello up there.) Same instinct, different tools.
My teaching follows the Unplugged Method, a 3-phase framework for ending manual chaos through simple AI systems.

I create courses, tutorials, and written guides focused on turning AI tools into reliable business systems. You can read the full course overview and syllabus in my free n8n Full Course: Zero to Hero AI Automation article on Substack.

My Approach
I don't write about AI hype. Every article and lesson starts with a real problem I've solved or a system I've built. If I haven't tested it myself, I don't teach it.
My content follows three principles:
- Show the real numbers -- Actual costs, real timelines, tested results
- Build for production -- Error handling, monitoring, and recovery baked in from day one
- Keep it practical -- Copy-paste code blocks, step-by-step setup guides, and troubleshooting sections in every tutorial
