Practical tools. Useful data. Less manual work.

I'm Oliver, a UK-based business owner building focused data and automation tools for businesses, developers and AI agents.

Having run businesses myself, I’m interested in tools that solve real operational problems—not technology for its own sake.

My approach is simple: solve a specific problem, make the tool straightforward to use, and return clear, useful results.

What I'm building

  • Web scraping and data extraction — turning publicly available website information into structured business data.
  • Business data enrichment — organising and improving information for research and automated workflows.
  • Ecommerce utilities — checking product data, supplier feeds and import files.
  • Automation tools — small, focused utilities designed to work independently or as part of larger systems.

Current project

ImportGuard — a Shopify product CSV checker being prepared for Apify. It checks files before import and flags data issues for review.

What matters to me

Clear documentation, straightforward inputs, useful outputs and honest explanations of what each tool can and cannot do.

I'm developing this collection with both human users and automated workflows in mind.
