Muhammad Umar F.
Data Engineer | Python ETL Pipelines, Web Scraping & Automation
Most freelancers can scrape a website. I build full data pipelines that don't break, and I talk directly with your clients and team to keep projects on track. You get clean, reliable data without managing a team of developers. I'm a 𝗣𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗲𝗯 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 with 7+ years building automated, high-scale extraction systems. I help businesses pull, clean, and structure web data so they can track competitors, capture leads, and run operations on data they can trust.
