Hello world 👋🏻

I'm Dan — a backend & full-stack engineer who builds production web scrapers and data APIs for a living. I've spent the last few years turning messy, JavaScript-heavy, anti-bot-guarded websites into clean, structured data that teams can actually use.

The Actors I publish here are built on the same engine I run in production: resilient against blocks, honest about partial results, and structured so the output drops straight into your pipeline.

  • 🛠️ What I do: large-scale web scraping & ETL — e-commerce, real-estate, social, and business-lead data
  • ⚙️ My stack: Python · FastAPI · TypeScript / React · PostgreSQL · Redis · Docker
  • 🧭 What I obsess over: reliability over speed — proxy rotation, resumable jobs, retry/backoff, and graceful failure instead of silent garbage
  • 🚀 In production: I design, deploy, and operate multi-platform scraping APIs end-to-end on self-managed infra (VPS · nginx · Cloudflare · Vercel)
  • 🧱 My promise: Actors that don't break the first time a site changes a class name — maintained, monitored, and documented
  • 🤝 Work with me: open to custom scraping & automation builds — reach me at rdan99848@gmail.com
  • 🔗 More: meetdan.vercel.app  · github.com/DanGatobu 

If you need data from a site that fights back, that's the part I enjoy. Open an issue on any Actor and I'll take a look.
