Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIan Neill is a Senior Software Engineer based in Queensland, Australia, with eight years of professional experience building full-stack systems using .NET Core, TypeScript, SolidJS, SQL Server and Neo4j. He has led large migrations and redesigns—moving a major cultural site's PHP/LAMP stack to C#.NET Core and SolidJS—and currently contributes at Compare the Market. Ian founded The Codex, a digital humanities project that blends a custom semantic text editor with Neo4j to treat annotated entities as part of a connected corpus, reflecting his interest in applied research and NLP-driven tooling. He publishes and speaks on Neo4j and JavaScript, combining practical engineering with academic curiosity gained during a visiting research role in digital humanities. Beyond typical engineering work, he builds niche PKM software and semantic editors, showing a penchant for tooling that surfaces connections across documents rather than just storing them. His background in art history and long involvement with the Art Renewal Center give him an uncommon cross-disciplinary perspective on data, content and UX.
