I build practical scraping tools, automation workflows, and lightweight data products for niche use cases that are usually too specific for generic APIs.

My work sits at the intersection of web scraping, structured data cleanup, sports data, local business operations, and workflow automation. I’m especially interested in building scrapers that turn messy public websites into clean, exportable datasets that people can actually use.

Right now, I’m focused on tools for:

• 🏈 College football roster data
• 📊 Sports datasets and roster normalization
• 🏢 Local business research and lead generation
• 🧹 Website data extraction and cleanup
• ⚙️ Repeatable scraping workflows built for non-technical users

My first public Apify projects are centered around college athletics roster scraping, including FCS roster URL datasets, player-only extraction, headshot/profile capture, and adapters for different athletics website formats.

I try to build Actors that are:

• Easy to test with sample input
• Clear about what data they return
• Useful as CSV/JSON exports
• Flexible enough for custom URLs
• Honest when a page can’t be parsed cleanly

If you need a scraper for a specific site, directory, roster page, business list, public dataset, or repeated research workflow, I’m open to custom scraping challenges.

Good fits include:

• Public website data extraction
• Sports rosters and player datasets
• Business/contact directories
• Local SEO and lead research
• One-off scrapers turned into repeatable tools
• CSV/JSON cleanup and normalization
