High Five - October 2025, Robert Mika

[calebjlee]

Our October feature shines on Robert Mika, whose curiosity and design sense have shaped Community conversations. He’s the kind of contributor who makes complex topics feel approachable and enjoyable. From his first steps with Qlik in 2013 to becoming an active voice in the Community since 2014, Robert Mika’s journey has been defined by curiosity, creativity, and a drive to help others see the story in their data. Today, he works as a Creative BI Designer and Qlik Specialist.

Robert’s professional path has taken him across industries, from pharma and manufacturing to banking, insurance, and now technology. Along the way, he has shared his expertise generously in the Qlik Community, which he describes as a space where discovery thrives.

“Whether I’m solving technical challenges, exploring design ideas, or learning from others, I find inspiration in the creativity here,” Robert shares.

Outside of work, Robert finds balance in new age music, yoga, and the gym, practices that fuel his energy and help him recharge. It’s this mix of focus, creativity, and collaboration that makes his presence in the Qlik Community so impactful.

Robert, thank you for bringing your passion, creativity, and collaborative spirit to the Qlik Community. Please join us in celebrating Robert in the comments below!

Hi Robert,  @robert_mika 

Congrats and well done! You deserve it very much. 

If I am not mistaken back in the day you wrote quite a few cool documents about tips/tricks/insights of Qlik engine including QlikView workarounds, set analysis explanations and many more cookbook-like posts... I wonder what happened with them as I no longer can find them which is a real shame as those were timeless and very useful. Maybe on this occasion those could be brought back to life?

I also remember you doing QlikView challenges back in the day to make visualisations look the same as competitors at the time. Those were really fun.

cheers 

Lech
