Neville Herrmann is a senior software engineer with over 15 years designing and implementing modelling and decision-support tools for agriculture and fisheries, most recently at CSIRO. He combines deep hands-on expertise in C#, Python, Delphi/Object Pascal and C++ with database and infrastructure skills across Firebird, MS SQL Server, Linux administration and Docker. His work spans mixed-farming and grazing/crop models, spatially explicit simulations and a climate data portal with a web API, reflecting a strong applied-research focus. As a contributor to the ApsimX project he strengthened weather-file handling by adding and testing diverse data-file workflows, showing attention to robust unit testing in complex scientific codebases. Based in New South Wales and holding a BASc in Computer Software Engineering from Charles Sturt University, he brings a practical blend of research rigour and production-grade engineering to environmental modelling systems.
