Welcome to Optima, Miles Lemmer!


We’re delighted to welcome Miles Lemmer, who joined the team last month.

Miles joins our team as a Senior Systems Engineering Consultant, bringing nine years of experience from CGI’s Space, Defence and Intelligence business, where he looked after critical ground segment systems. A Physics graduate, he began his career as a SysAdmin, getting to know complex systems from the inside out. He then moved into a Team Lead role, where he grew his engineering experience and learned what it takes to bring multi-disciplinary teams together around a shared goal.

For the last four years, Miles has worked as a systems engineer, managing the evolution roadmaps and strategic development of user-facing systems. The role put him at the meeting point between client organisations and engineering teams, making sure what was built matched what users needed, both now and in the future. Most recently, he served as technical lead and solution architect on two bids, shaping solutions from the ground up.

Outside of work, Miles is a keen board gamer and gamer, and rarely without a DIY project on the go. When he’s not at the table or the workbench, you’ll find him running across the Quantocks with his Hungarian wire-haired Vizsla, who we suspect sets the pace.
