About Us
From the Roots of Inquiry to the Branches of Insight
Water teaches us to be flexible yet powerful, to carve out new paths while nurturing the life that depends on us. Our work is a reflection of this wisdom, guiding us to solutions that are both effective and empathetic, ensuring the sustainability of resources and communities alike.

Advocating for Sustainability
in the Heart of the Mining Industry
At the core of SimplXit are two friends, Simon and Miguel - knowledge seekers, and travelers at heart. Our journey is defined by a shared curiosity and a commitment to understanding the myriad interactions that shape our world. This ethos drives us to seek solutions that are not just technically viable but are respectful of the delicate balance between industrial needs and socio-environmental stewardship.
We navigate this intricate balance between advancing methodological & technological solutions and embracing the principles of sustainability within the mining industry—a realm traditionally known for its heavy socio-environmental footprint.
Our story is one of learning and adaptation, drawing inspiration from the natural world to inform our approach to water and waste management in mining. This path is about recognizing our part in a larger ecological and social fabric, striving to mitigate the impacts of extractivism through thoughtful innovation and inclusive practices.
The Faces of Inquiry
Simon Ogude-Chambert
Water Resources Engineer
Shaping Fluid Futures
Simon's journey through the realms of water resources engineering and environmental management has been one of constant exploration and discovery. From the corridors of ENSEEIHT in Toulouse to the innovative environments of Chalmers University in Sweden, his academic and professional endeavors have equipped him with a unique blend of skills. Simon's excellence in simulation modeling, grounded in a comprehensive understanding of water and system's dynamics, brings a nuanced perspective to our projects, reminiscent of water's ability to adapt and transform landscapes.
Miguel Palape
Geotech Engineer
Designing with Nature
Miguel's path, woven through diverse terrains from Chile to Australia, reflects a profound connection to the earth and a dedication to its care. His expertise in geotechnics and mine waste management is but one facet of his commitment to environmental stewardship. Inspired by concepts such as the circular economy and biomimicry, Miguel's work is a testament to the potential for integrating nature's wisdom into our practices, aiming for solutions that regenerate and sustain rather than exploit and exhaust.

A Vision for Our Future
Navigating the intricate landscape of the mining industry, SimplXit embodies a deep understanding that true change emerges from confronting and embracing the paradoxes of our era.
We advocate for reducing consumerism, fully aware of the paradox this presents within an industry that feeds on the very consumer demand we seek to diminish. This perspective does not shy away from the intricacies of extractivism but courageously proposes an alternative route—one that champions conservation over consumption, and sustainability over short-term gains.
In challenging the industry's foundational demand dynamics, SimplXit envisions a future where the mining industry operates within the limits of our planet's natural resources, harnessing innovations that prioritize water conservation, recycling technologies, circular economies and nature-based solutions among others. We want to craft solutions that are not only technically sound but environmentally viable and socially equitable.
​
In the heart of an industry often viewed through a lens of skepticism, SimplXit stands as a testament to the possibility of change, demonstrating that with creativity, collaboration, and courage, we can navigate the complexities of our times. Our journey is a call to action, inviting all stakeholders to join us in redefining the narrative of mining.
