What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build reliable Python scraping/automation systems, ship clean API endpoints, and turn extracted data into actionable insights—using AWS/Azure and modern AI/GenAI when it adds value.

I build Python-based tools that turn messy, diverse sources into structured datasets. At A1Strategez, I developed scraping pipelines and stored results in formats like .db, .json, and .csv, then exposed server-side access via API endpoints using FastAPI/Flask.

I also deliver production-level services, using Scrapy, Requests, BeautifulSoup, Selenium, Selenium-Wire, and Puppeteer, and operating on AWS and Microsoft Azure. In my prior role at Milestone Zero, I expanded automation into richer extraction workflows with Pandas, Numpy, OpenCV, Pillow, PyTesseract, and OpenAI for text formatting and decisions based on extracted data.

I’m currently pursuing a BSc in Software Engineering and I’ve supported data-driven work through market research and analytics automation for data-driven SEO/SEM campaigns as an Assistant Data Analyst (sub-contract). Outside work, I’ve led ACM operations and arranged technical workshops, reinforcing my drive to solve problems and share practical engineering skills.
