Full-time Python developer specialising in large-scale web scraping, Apify Actor development, and AI-powered automation. +169 five-star reviews, 100% completion rate, 100% on-time and on-budget, Preferred Freelancer. I do not just write a script and hand it over. I build scrapers that survive anti-bot systems, resume after crashes, and keep running months after delivery. What I specialise in: ► Apify Actor Development & Publishing I design, build, and ship production Python Actors on the Apify platform: proper input schemas, dataset and key-value store output, proxy and session rotation, migration-safe state so long runs resume instead of restarting, and monetisation-ready packaging for the Apify Store. I have my own Actors running in production, so I know the platform from both sides: building for clients and shipping to the Store. If you need an existing Actor fixed, sped up, or migrated from a plain script, that is routine work for me. ► Intelligent Data Extraction & Advanced Web Scraping Playwright, Selenium, Scrapy, BeautifulSoup, and raw API reverse-engineering. Dynamic JavaScript pages, infinite scroll, login walls, Cloudflare, rate limits, and millions of records. Clean output in CSV, Excel, JSON, Google Sheets, or straight into your database. ► AI-Powered Applications & Agents LLM-driven extraction, classification, and enrichment. AI agents that read unstructured pages and return structured, validated data instead of guesswork. ► Custom Automation Workflows End-to-end pipelines with Python, n8n, Shopify, and scheduled cloud jobs. Systems that run on their own and alert you when something breaks. ► B2B Lead Generation & List Building Verified decision-maker contacts (CEO, CFO, founders), business email discovery and verification, directory and marketplace scraping, deliverability-checked lists ready for outreach. ► Telegram Bots & API Integration Interactive bots, alerting and reporting pipelines, plus REST and GraphQL integrations that connect your tools together. Working with me you get: ✅ Production-grade code, not throwaway scripts: error handling, retries, logging, and documentation ✅ Delivery on time, every time (100% on-time across +169 projects) ✅ Clear updates without you having to chase me ✅ Post-delivery support when a target site changes its layout Send me a message with your target site or dataset and I will tell you straight away whether it is scrapable, how long it will take, and what it will cost.

I am highly experienced in web scraping and processing large amounts of data. I can handle scraping and extracting data from various websites, even with dynamic web pages. I can also handle data pre-processing, data cleaning, and data transformation to make it ready for analysis or storage. I also have experience in handling large datasets and optimizing the performance of scraping and data processing jobs.
