What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable data extraction, data-pipeline, and backend systems where scalable collection, data quality, API integration, and performance directly support business decisions.

I've built and maintained scrapers across 500+ e-commerce and dynamic websites, extracting more than 100M product records for price-intelligence clients through freelance work on Upwork and Fiverr.

I design resilient collection and price-monitoring pipelines using Scrapy, Playwright, Selenium, rotating proxies, randomized headers, and TLS-fingerprint impersonation. I've also reverse-engineered hidden APIs to reduce scraping time and browser-automation costs while validating data quality before delivery.

My backend work at Xloop Digital included building REST APIs with FastAPI, Flask, and Django, managing PostgreSQL and MySQL databases, integrating third-party services, and improving application performance, scalability, and security.
