Andy O'Neil
Weblytica, United States
My name is Andy O'Neil, and I help entrepreneurs add time-saving automation to their businesses through a process called co-building. This is a 1-on-1 process where I assist business owners in building automations over Zoom calls. Each session is personalized to meet the specific needs of the business owner and their business automation requirements.
I have been creating no-code processes and automations since 2006, even before the term "no-code" was widely used. I have a passion for teaching entrepreneurs how to automate their businesses using Make.com, which is why I focus on co-building. My goal is to empower people to understand and control the automation processes in their businesses.
I have been married for 21 years and have four beautiful children who keep my wife and me very busy.

He guides companies to better results from their software projects while he helps individuals work with less stress.

Companies engage him for remote working sessions, training courses, on-site workshops, and in-person consulting visits. Individuals, especially those stuck in companies that don't have the budget for formal consulting, can get the help they need by joining J. B.'s mentoring group by visiting https://experience.jbrains.ca. (Quite often, they can convince their employer to pay for that!) He lives in Atlantic Canada with his wife, Sarah, who is busy showing the Open Source world how to have quality documentation even with a mostly-volunteer project community. They travel to Europe less often than they used to, which makes each visit even more enjoyable.
