Frank Z.

Senior Developer | Data Transformation, Automation & Scripting

Weisendorf, Germany
$60 per hour
207 jobs

Is your team losing hours to manual data processing, format conversions, or repetitive document tasks? I build the tools and scripts that eliminate that work: reliable, low-maintenance, and built to last. With 20+ years of delivering automation and data solutions across industries, I turn complex requirements into clean, working software. Clients come back because the result actually holds up: no duct tape, no black box — just solid code their team can understand and maintain. I adapt the technology to your project (Python, C#, Java, XSLT, JavaScript), not the other way around. What I deliver: • Data Extraction & Conversion – Pull and transform data from XML, JSON, CSV, Excel, or legacy formats into PDF, HTML, Word/Excel, databases, or plain text — write once, publish everywhere. • Document & Publishing Automation – XSLT transformations, single-source publishing pipelines, automated layout and content placement (including Adobe InDesign scripting). • Workflow Automation – Scripts that eliminate manual steps, schedule processing, and enforce consistency across your data — so nothing falls through the cracks and no one has to babysit the process. • Custom Tools & Utilities – Command-line tools and lightweight desktop apps (Python, C#, Java) for data processing, report generation, or system-specific tasks. • System Integration – Connect disparate systems so data flows between them without manual intervention. I communicate throughout — not just at delivery. You'll always know where things stand, and you'll get documentation so your team isn't dependent on me afterward. If you have a data, automation, or document challenge, let's talk. I'll give you an honest picture of what's feasible and the smartest approach for your situation.

$4K+ total earnings

I've been building websites and software professionally for years. A lot of my work has been custom websites and web applications, and I've also spent a lot of time working with Wordpress. I've built sites from scratch, taken over existing ones, written custom plugins, handled migrations, worked with APIs and databases, and fixed plenty of things that were already broken when I got there. On the Wordpress side, I've worked with custom themes and plugins, Elementor, Gutenberg, WooCommerce, ACF, multisite, forms, hosting, DNS, email delivery, and site migrations. I also do custom application development. I've worked with C#, .NET, Perl, PHP, JavaScript, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Linux, APIs, automation, document processing, authentication, and internal business systems.

Perl FAQs

What is Perl?

With the slogan, “There’s more than one way to do it,” Perl came on the scene as a flexible, powerful server-side language that could do more than one job. And for a number of years, Perl made very important contributions to modern web technology—especially for a language that was developed before the web even came to be.

It’s prominent on the list of back-end programming languages, has an active developer community, and stands out among other server-side scripts as one of the most popular languages used in CGI scripting. But in terms of developer popularity—arguably one of the key barometers of the health and future of a technology—it’s appeared to wane with new learners, falling behind popular languages like Ruby and Python.

Today, Perl is still really prominent—and often makes up the P of the popular LAMP stack (Linux/Apache/MySQL/Perl, PHP, or Python). Get to know a little more about this language below.

  • Perl is a server-side script. Server-side scripts create the architecture and functionality of a site that you don’t see to help the client-facing part of a website you do see run smoothly and dynamically.
  • Perl is free, open-source, and object-oriented.
  • It’s cross-platform and lightning fast. It was built to run on the Unix operating system but can run on over 100 platforms. And compared with other scripting languages like Python and Ruby, it runs incredibly fast and performs well handling large amounts of data.
  • It interfaces well with C/C++ languages, with major syntax similarities to C and PHP. Unix has a built-in Perl interpreter.
  • It supports database integration with almost every possible relational and non-relational database, serving as the “glue” for back-end software. It’s ideal for database mining, as well.

Perl is most often used for:

  • System administration
  • CGI scripting
  • Intrawebs and older web systems
  • Data mining and statistical analysis
  • GUI programming
  • Web automation
  • Security system prototyping
  • Network prototyping
  • Regular expressions in bioinformatics, widely used in the 1990s
