About Me

T-Shaped Full-Stack Developer with Deep Data Expertise

While many developers work only on frontend or backend, my background in data engineering and web scraping lets me build complete solutions—from intelligent data collection systems to user-friendly dashboards. I don't just build interfaces; I architect end-to-end data-driven applications that solve real business problems.

My Sweet Spot

I'm most effective on projects that combine my unique mix of skills. Here's where I add the most value:

Perfect Fit

Data Collection → Dashboard

Projects that need both automated data extraction AND a frontend to visualize it. I can build the entire pipeline from scraping to display.

E-commerce price monitoring with real-time dashboard
Social media analytics platform
Market research automation tools
Great Match

Complex Data Engineering

Large-scale scraping systems that need sophisticated anti-bot solutions, data validation, and reliable pipelines.

Multi-site concurrent scraping (50+ websites)
Anti-bot protection bypass systems
Processing millions of records daily
Strong Fit

Full-Stack SaaS Applications

Complete web applications with backend APIs, database design, and modern React/Vue frontends.

B2B SaaS platforms
Internal business tools and dashboards
API development and integration
Good Fit

Desktop Automation Tools

Cross-platform desktop applications for data processing, automation, or specialized business workflows.

Electron/Tauri desktop apps
Business process automation
Data transformation utilities

To set expectations:

I'm less experienced with mobile app development (iOS/Android native), game development, blockchain/Web3, or DevOps/infrastructure-heavy projects. For these, I'd recommend specialists in those areas.
