Curriculum Vitae: Hannes Neethling

Personal profile

I am a technologist currently working at the Environment Agency, where I develop data transformation pipelines for environmental permitting and inspection data. My work supports regulatory and operational processes by enabling the structured use of complex datasets through tools like Azure Synapse Analytics, PySpark, and SQL.

Over the last few years I have gained significant experience in a variety of technical roles. These included work as an associate researcher at Kingston University, where I contributed to projects in computational geography by applying GIS and machine learning techniques to crime analysis and prediction. Earlier roles at Mastercard, Guru Systems, and Kaizen Reporting saw me build fraud detection pipelines, data quality systems, and IoT-focused backend infrastructure. I hold an MSc degree in Computer Science and an MA in Geography, along with a PGCert in AI. My technical toolkit includes Python, Golang, SQL, PostGIS, Docker, AWS, Azure, and a wide range of open-source machine learning and geospatial libraries.
