Hi, I'm Andrew — a Python developer specializing in web scraping, automation, and data extraction.
I recently built a custom scraper for a real estate client that pulled listings from Homes .com and delivered clean, ready-to-use CSV files, saving hours of manual data entry every week. I work primarily with BeautifulSoup, Selenium, Requests, and Pandas to build reliable scrapers that turn messy web data into structured datasets you can actually use.
I hold a certificate in CS50: Introduction to Computer Science from Harvard (via edX), and I regularly build personal projects to keep my core Python skills sharp.
Whether you need a one-off scraper, ongoing data collection, or help cleaning and organizing data into CSV/Excel format, I'd love to help. Message me and let's talk about your project.

I build custom Python scrapers, automated data extraction tools, and clean research lists for clients who need data from websites that aren't easy to pull from. Every project is delivered as a polished CSV, Excel, or Google Sheet — ready to use from day one.
🐍 Custom Python Scrapers
When a website has data you need but no easy way to get it, I write a custom scraper to pull it for you. This includes sites that block simple tools, sites that need search forms filled out, sites with thousands of pages to work through, or sites that need to be checked on a schedule. You get the finished data — cleaned, organized, and delivered in the format you want.
🔍 Data Extraction & Research
I extract structured data from public sources: government datasets, business directories, company websites, industry association sites, public registries, court and permit records, Google Maps, and event or conference pages. I pull what you need, verify it against the original source, and hand it off in a clean file.
🎯 Targeted Contact & Business Lists
I build targeted lists by industry and geography. If you need every business of a specific type within a state, region, or country, this is one of my most common projects.. I've built lists ranging from a few hundred contacts to several thousand, across service trades, hospitality, and niche B2B verticals. You tell me who you want to reach, and I deliver a clean, ready-to-use contact file.
🔧 How I Work
I explain my approach in plain English before I start. You'll get a sample of the first batch for approval so you can confirm the format and quality match what you need. The full delivery follows once the sample is approved — no surprises, no rework.

Custom domains, APIs, and user interfaces can be designed to efficiently manage automated processes for persistent data management.
Additional Services:
- Pre-contract work: For some projects, especially those involving data extraction, work may be completed prior to contract initiation, depending on the scope. This allows for mutual validation of the results.
- Custom interfaces: Seamless display of millions of rows within an extensive grid layout. These applications can also leverage continuous cloud-based processes for web scraping or task automation.
- IP rotation: Support for large or long-running data collections, extraction from dynamic or obfuscated sources, and access to data requiring login or captcha authentication.

I build web scrapers that don't get blocked and don't break. 🛡️
If you've watched your bot get banned within minutes of hitting a site behind Cloudflare, DataDome, or Akamai — or inherited a brittle Selenium script that dies the moment the site changes — that's the problem I solve. I build data extraction systems designed to run for months, not days.
🔧 WHAT I BUILD
High-volume scraping systems for:
• E-commerce pricing & product data
• Real estate listings
• Business directories & lead generation
• Contact extraction
🎯 THE HARD TARGETS
This is where most scrapers fail and mine don't:
• JavaScript-heavy SPAs, dynamic content, and infinite scroll
• Login-gated pages
• Serious anti-bot protection — Cloudflare, DataDome, Akamai, PerimeterX, CAPTCHA solving
Where it's faster and more stable, I skip the headless browser entirely and reverse-engineer the site's internal API. For ongoing collection, I build scheduled crawlers with proxy rotation, session management, and browser fingerprint handling baked in.
💡 WHY CLIENTS HIRE ME
Most scrapers on Upwork work once — on the developer's machine, on a good day. Mine ship with:
• Retries, error handling, and failure alerts
• Monitoring and scheduling, deployed on AWS or Docker — no babysitting
• Clean, structured output: JSON, CSV, straight into PostgreSQL, or via a FastAPI endpoint — not a folder of messy HTML
You'll also always know where the project stands. I communicate in plain English, flag risks early, and deliver fast.
⚙️ TECH STACK
Python • JavaScript/TypeScript • Playwright • Selenium • Puppeteer • Scrapy • BeautifulSoup • FastAPI • Celery • Redis • Docker • AWS (EC2, Lambda, S3) • GitHub Actions
Need the output AI-ready? I deliver structured data formatted for LLM and RAG ingestion.
📩 SEND ME A SITE
Even one that's blocked every scraper you've thrown at it. Send the URL and a sentence about what you need, and I'll tell you honestly whether it's feasible, how I'd approach it, and what it would take.
