Meet Andrew Bondarenko, a BIM MEP technologist who lives and works in Ukraine. Andrew's story is unbelievable. A man who, despite difficult situations, has pivoted into BIM and runs a successful online BIM business from a warzone. What you will hear is a story of determination, resilience and hope.

Andrew and I have known each other for over 3 years and have kept in touch on Instagram. When the war with Russia happened, I tried to help him with contacts for overseas work, which was successful, and since then, he has worked for clients all over the world in a BIM capacity.

Andrew has a master's in Chemical Engineering and supports his family and was not able to join the army as he has had injuries to both of his knees which still need further surgery.
