I'm a developer who uses Python, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS to solve real problems – whether that's automating a repetitive task, fixing a broken website, or building a small web tool from scratch. What I actually do for clients: Write Python scripts to scrape data, clean CSV files, or automate browser actions Fix HTML/CSS/JS issues that break layouts, forms, or responsiveness Debug JavaScript errors that stop a site from working properly Audit a website's performance and tell you exactly what to fix (with code examples) Examples of recent work: Built a Python script that scraped 500+ product pages and exported clean data to Excel (client saved 10 hours/week) Fixed a company's contact form and mobile navigation – HTML/CSS/JS, done in 4 hours Debugged a JavaScript calculator that wasn't calculating – found the logic error and rewrote the function My process is simple: You tell me the problem or the task I ask a few clarifying questions (usually 2–3) I write the code, test it, and send it back with a short explanation You pay the fixed price or hourly rate we agreed on Technical skills: Python (scripts, automation, data cleaning, web scraping with requests/BeautifulSoup) JavaScript (DOM manipulation, event handling, debugging, basic Node.js) HTML5 / CSS3 (responsive layouts, Flexbox, Grid, cross-browser fixes) Git, basic CLI, working with APIs No fluff. No "synergy." Just code that works. If you need a script, a fix, or a small web tool – send me the details. I'll tell you if I can do it and how much it costs.
