Summary
Neville Dempsey is a polyglot Senior Developer with 38 years of experience spanning microcontrollers to mainframes, and deep expertise in Python since 2005. He has built cross-platform systems (Taipan TMR) that run unmodified on Linux, Unix and Windows, and combines data-science work—traffic, fisheries and engineering models—with solid applied-maths training from the University of Queensland. Neville routinely modernises and supports legacy platforms (HP/MPE TurboIMAGE, Fortran/WRF on AWS) while integrating contemporary tooling like Kafka, Rocket UniverseDB and Ruby on Rails on AWS Elastic Beanstalk. He brings hands-on DevOps and automation skills demonstrated by telemetry gateway work on Raspberry Pi/BeagleBoard and numerous Python-driven business process automations. Comfortable in low-level system environments (ALGOL68, Unix, Solaris) as well as high-level analytics (NumPy, R/Octave), he’s equally at home reestablishing complex build environments or streamlining customer-facing operations. Based in Queensland, Australia, Neville blends pragmatic engineering with a mathematician’s approach to numerical methods and statistical problem solving.
