Hi everyone!
My name is Mikko Anttilainen and my role is User Experience Specialist, which means I do face-to-face user research, develop recommendations and specifications for UX improvements, sketch and detail user interfaces and conduct usability testing.
In my daily work I communicate with all Solibri teams, most closely the product team as well as all development teams. While my dearest stakeholders are Solibri users, I routinely involve in my work members from our support, sales and marketing teams to gather cross-discipline intelligence and balance my overall view.

Hi dear Solibrians,
My name is Robbert and I’m one of the enthusiastic and intrinsic motivated employees off BIM4ALL, based in the Netherlands.
In my work as a BIM-Trainer and BIM-Consultant, I visit a lot of different companies which I help to implement and improve, with the BIM-workflow in mind. I also provide BIM-training to people who want to understand BIM and want to start working in, for example, Solibri. My personal motto is: Sharing is Caring. By sharing your knowledge, you help each other to get smarter and you keep learning new things. I also like to write blogs about BIM, to share my knowledge.
My interests are: explore the world and different cultures, by travelling around. Also, I like to read, play on my Playstation and be around friends and family.
Why I’m involved with the Solibri Society
I have been asked by José Alarcón Roldán to get involved with the community. I’m very pleased to join as a trainer in Solibri Model Checker. Because of the knowledge I collect from my own experience and from the users off Solibri I support, I can deliver my part and knowledge.Lets get connected on https://www.linkedin.com/in/robbert-evers/.
Greetings,
Robbert

Hi. This is not really an introduction, but a goodbye as I am now leaving Solibri. It has been great working with all the things at Solibri, especially API related things. It has been very nice to hear how people have used the software in all kinds of situations. I hope the development continues just as good if not better as it has thus far.
If needed, I can always be found through Linkedin. -
