Web Scraping & Automation Advisor | Strategy, Architecture & Best Practices

If you’re planning large-scale web scraping or automation projects and want to get it right from the start, I offer consultation and architecture guidance for building reliable, scalable systems.

What I provide in consultation sessions:
• Architecture & Design Reviews: Ensuring your data pipelines are scalable, maintainable, and cost-efficient.
• Technology Stack Recommendations: Choosing between Scrapy, Playwright, Selenium, Apify, or custom pipelines.
• Proxy, VPN & Anti-Bot Strategy: Guidance on IP rotation, session management, and solving rate-limit challenges.

• ETL & Data Normalization Guidance: Designing pipelines for clean, structured data feeding into APIs, dashboards, or warehouses.

I don’t just write scripts - I help you plan and optimize systems that stay reliable at scale, save engineering time, and avoid common pitfalls.
