I founded Optimised Operations Pty. Ltd. in 1993 following my immigration to Australia in 1992. I have always worked as an environmental engineer (for 18 years now) in industry in the US, Australia and around the world. I have made a career out of attempting to find innovative ways to solve environmental problems resulting from industrial processes. I particularly enjoy working on those problems that seem impossible, and may have seen numerous failed attempts; a classic engineer, I guess. But I also try to bring an atypical approach to solving problems, and often apply technology to areas where it has not been tried before.

As a consulting engineer, I also don't play the typical games that can be seen sometimes in industry. If you receive a bid from my company, you can be sure that you will get the work done for the price quoted, even if it means we sometimes go beyond the written scope of work quoted on. We make it a practice not to issue "change orders" unless absolutely necessary and requested by our clients, and we have never had a customer complaint. It's a record I plan to see extended by Optimised Operations well into the future.

If you have a company, or are part of a government organisation with any environmental problems, concerns, or questions I encourage you to contact Optimised Operations for assistance. You will be glad that you did. If you are an individual or group that is facing an environmental issue and you can't seem to get help (or afford it) from a large firm or your local environmental authority, we may be able to help you too. Give us a call or send us an e-mail.
