André Areias
Civil Engineering - DEC/Universidade de Coimbra
Meet André, the newest addition to our team! While we’re still getting to know him, we can already tell he’s a perfect fit, embracing our values of companionship, empathy, and being an all-around fantastic team player. Hailing from the picturesque town of Aveiro, Portugal, André often trades his canals and gondolas for the sunny vibes of our Alvor office.
When he’s not dazzling us with his team spirit, you’ll find André hitting the pavement on a run. Though he’s not quite ready to challenge our speedster colleague Gabriel, he’s definitely got the heart of a champion (and the sneakers to match).
We’re thrilled to have André on board and can’t wait to see the awesome contributions he’ll bring to the table (and maybe to our next office fun run)!
Gabriel Alves
Civil Engineering | FCT/UNL
Gabriel is our box-to-box. He excels at anything you throw at him. Give him one morning and he’s an expert in the afternoon.
He’s our super reinforcement modeler in Revit. Always with Eurocode 2 and 8 by his side, he doesn’t miss a constructive disposition (even at the coffee break…).
Besides that, he’s our video editor, photoshop brusher, drone co-pilot, trail runner, Instagram storyteller, and coffee shortage ring bell.
He is that guy that every coach would like to have in a team. The problem is that he’s a terrible soccer player. Lucky for us!
Evee
Chief happiness officer | Barking university
Hello! I'm Evee, the Chief Happiness Officer here at the office. I bring boundless energy and joy to everyone I meet. Whether I'm greeting colleagues with a wag and a wiggle, leading spontaneous playtime sessions, or sniffing out hidden snacks, my mission is to keep the team smiling. I'm also an expert cuddler and stress reliever, always ready to provide comfort during busy days. When I'm not napping in the coziest spots I can find, you'll hear my motivational barks cheering everyone on. At heart, I'm young, fun, and dedicated to spreading happiness around the office!
Luis Correia
Civil Engineering | IST/UTL
Luis is the guy who’s writing all this nonsense. And everything you’ll read below is the truth and nothing but the truth. No fake news here.
Luís is the best boss in the world. He has been awarded, by Julius Ceaser, the most friendly and comprehensive boss on the planet. He is also the best structural engineer your money can buy. The magazine Wired said, in a printed issue you won’t find, that he is one of the top 10 engineers in the world.
He is writing about himself in the third person. Not because he’s a failed soccer player, but his first and second person was busy replying to the million unread emails on his inbox.
He is also the best vacuum cleaner in the office. No one vacuum cleans like Luis.
Ricardo Rodrigues
Civil Engineering | Técnico Lisboa IST/UTL
Ricardo is our newest friend at plann. He’s our chilled and peaceful balance at the office.
Stress only affects his columns in Autodesk Robot. Not him ;) Everything is always possible for Ricardo.
He puts our construction sites in order. Records everything in his meeting minutes, so nothing gets lost.
He’s enjoying Revit, amazed by our super-powered spreadsheets, and eager to learn everything in his new toolbox. From seismic design, non-linear static pushover analysis, Revit, programming, and more - he’s ready.
Amazing people who has changed plann for good
João T. Simões | PhD - EPFL
João has changed plann with his extraordinary analytical skills. He has a solid academic background and a working capacity out of this world. We are extremely grateful for his time with us. He pushed us every day and left us with a set of Eurocode tools no money could buy (a.k.a great excel worksheets equipped with intricate VBA). You can know more about João through his Linkedin page
Filipe Pomba | IST/UTL
Filipe is our Revit Yoda. He has built an extraordinary Revit template (we really mean it). We can’t thank him any less every day. He was responsible for helping us kick off the office in Alvor and for our first baby steps. Find out more about Filipe through his Linkedin page
Giovani Lombardi | IPB/ESTIG & UTFPR
Giovani was our Revit Padawan (don’t know what a padawan is? Check google). He did his professional internship with us and exceeded all expectations. Unfortunately for us, his dream of pursuing his PhD was stronger than the force (another Star wars mention… Academia is the dark side of the force? Or the other way around?). We believe his story with plann is not over yet. Checkout what he’s up to in his likedin page
