@ranawaqar
Experienced data entry and web researcher skilled in Python web extraction.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated data-entry and web-research professional with extensive hands-on experience in web extraction, data scraping, and data management. I combine formal training in office management and programming with practical freelancing and government-sector roles.
Over the past decade I have led projects as a freelance project manager and delivered data entry, web research, lead generation, and scraping solutions using tools like Python (BeautifulSoup, Scrapy), html2text, and OCR workflows. I have implemented database entry processes and automated extract-transform steps into Excel, CSV, JSON and .DB formats.
I have worked in multiple organizations including a KPO in the government education department, as a DEO in a DMO office, and as a supervisor in the agriculture department, plus assistant manager experience in industrial and B2B exhibition sectors. My technical toolbox includes Microsoft Office, VBA, JavaScript/Ajax/Regex, CorelDraw, Photoshop, and familiarity with Ubuntu, Android and Windows installation.
I seek to bring reliable, accurate data operations and web-extraction skills to teams that value attention to detail, process-driven data delivery, and practical automation to improve data quality and reduce manual effort.
