Hey Makers! This is where you can tell us something about yourself so that we get to know you a little.
Someone needs to start, I guess, so
My name is Michaela and I am the Make team community person
Originally, Iām a linguist. A translator, an interpreter, and an ESL teacher. Due to the turbulent times that weāre living in, I found myself in the need of changing my career and got so incredibly lucky as to start a new chapter in the world of workflow automation. Iāve been cruising it for a year and a half and I am truly enjoying the ride.
Random facts about me:
I frequently build blanket forts to hide from āadult thingsā
I am an avid petter of all sorts of fluffy animals
I enjoy sipping a) hot beverages on cold days b} cold beers on hot days
Very happy to be meeting all of you and super eager to experience all the meaningful conversations to be had!
Hi everyone, Bjorn here!
Great to see that after a good amount of effort from @Michaela and the rest of the team we have the forum up and running
I am the founder of Drivn.agency - an agency drivn to help our clients succeed using automations. We thrive businesses by creating automations in no-code tools such as Make & code such as Javascript / Python.
Originally I come from the servers & network environment, where I used to work at Google datacenters as a technical project lead. Learned & created a lot within automations there as well, which started my journey in the automation world.
Random facts about me:
I love water; wakeboarding, scuba diving, kitesurfing, flyboarding and more
I am a no-code solution developer who got his start building Excel tools and reports a few years ago and am currently a SharePoint Admin/Developer and Excel Developer.
I love simplifying data! Whether itās with automation platforms, data analysis tools or even full-scale no/low-code apps, I love it all!
We donāt specifically specialize in one area, but business Ops-teams are largely who our clients are, so our solution typically involve Slack, Airtable, accounting softwares, PM platforms and collaboration tools.

We are so very lucky to have you as a member of the community! Thanks for being here to share your knowledge and expertise. The good old captain obvious in me needs to say that your rich tech background and automation experience are certainly gonna come in handy here, haha.
I love that you love water. I also love that you taught me that āthe flying water thingyā is called āflyboardingā
Whatās your next travel adventure? Heading somewhere hot? Or cold? Or both?
Hey Guy, I am stoked to see that youāre joining us!
Thanks for telling us more about yourself and your area of expertise. Iād love to say that itās brilliant to hear that you love simplifying data in all sorts of areas. Thatās one heck of a passion.
Itās great to hear that you guys create solutions and share them on your YoutTube channel. If you ever wish to bring some of your automation-related videos into the community, feel free to do so
Also, I cannot believe that you know how to fly an airplane. Touche, my friend! Is that something you do on a regular basis? Are you considering a side-career of a pilot?
Previously, as an owner and CEO of HVAC distribution company , I was always looking for ways to automate my own and my employees workflows.
It was 2016 when I first found Make for myself (previously Integromat) and started using it for my own company workflows.
And for already >2 years, we help also others to find automation possibilities and develop automation projects using Make, Airtable and Bubble mostly.
What kind projects do we mostly do?
Workflow analysis and automation using IPAAS like Make
Developing custom MakeAPPS :))
Workshops/trainings/Personal Coaching
Truly believe that automation is not about replacing the human, but to help boost a persons main skills by optimizing and automating routine tasks.
Lived in 5 different countries, like traveling, mountains and water:)
I am honoured to be part of the Make community. I am the director of NewPath Consulting, a small consulting company in Toronto, Ontario, Canada . We help associations and clubs of all sizes modernize their operations with database and automation tools.
Iāve been using Make since 2018 when one of our partners, WildApricot, introduced their Make app. Their lead mobile apps and API developer, Dmitry Smirnov, told me about Integromat in August 2018. But to be honest I was too busy to take a close look until December 2018 when a customer of ours wanted to extend WildApricot.
I was delighted and somewhat shocked to discover that I was able to automate and make WildApricot do things it was never designed to do just with some interconnected bubbles on a screen.
It took our company more than a year to realize the commercial power of Make. In 2020, we developed our first commercial automation called QuickBooks for Wild Apricot.
QBWA is a collection of several scenarios that integrate Wild Apricotās financial module into Intuitās popular QuickBooks product. At Integrocon 2022, I was privileged to deliver a short presentation about our approach to solving customer pain with Integromat, now called Make.
Iām a huge fan of the platform and tell anyone who wants to listen about all the things Make can do for you and your business. I like to connect partners together and have worked with several Make partners, some of the smartest people I have met in my professional life!
A little about me: I really enjoy my spinning routine and try to get on a bike whenever possible. In Canada, itās pretty cold half the year so I like to take my kids skiing whenever possible. I also play the trumpet in a band, and my dream is to play in a professional band on a cruise ship when I retire.
My name is Oleksandr and automation has become my hobby.
Now I have a partner business (restaurant) in which we implement automation.
Previously to that, I worked for several large companies and always tried to automate routine work.
As a freelancer I have already helped create several automation scenarios for clients (one of them asked for help again).
Automation and integration is a very interesting world. There are already thoughts to do this on a regular basis.
Very happy to join the automation guru community
My name is Benjamin, iām part of the Make team , I work with the Sales team to help qualify the projects of our Enterprise customers and to try and convince them to choose our solution

Iām really happy to be part of this dynamic community!!
