Hello world 👋🏻 I'm a developer and automation architect with a passion for turning messy web data into structured, actionable insights. Whether it's reverse-engineering protocols or building custom scrapers, I thrive on the challenge of making the web work for you.

🤓 My journey With a background in SQL (Dynamics GP) and Python-driven automation, I’ve spent years bridging the gap between legacy databases and modern web interfaces. What started as a fascination with how things work under the hood—from Android APKs to RS232 protocols—evolved into a career of building robust data extraction pipelines.

🚀 My triumphs Automation Architect: Developed custom Python scripts using Selenium and Playwright for complex web scraping and workflow automation.

AI Integration: Successfully deployed local LLMs and OCR (PaddleOCR) to process and extract data from unstructured documents and images.

Infrastructure: Self-host my own dev environments using Docker, Portainer, and n8n to ensure 24/7 reliability for my scrapers.

⚒️ My skills Languages: Python (Playwright, Selenium, FastAPI), SQL (MS SQL, MariaDB, SQLite), PowerShell.

Tools: Docker, n8n, Gemini AI API, Git, and Portainer.

Specialties: Web scraping, data extraction, automation workflows, and local AI deployment.

My languages English: Native / Fluent

Code: Python, SQL, and Markdown

🫱🏻‍🫲🏽 Work with me I'm always open to new scraping challenges or automation projects that require a surgical touch. If you have a site that’s "impossible" to scrape, let's talk.
