Neiell Care P.
Senior Python Engineer | Web Scraping, Data Pipelines & FastAPI
Need data from sites that don't make it easy, or a Python backend that holds up when that data reaches millions of rows? I've been building both for 10 years. I'm a senior Python engineer specializing in web scraping, data pipelines, and production APIs. I built 20+ production scrapers for a regulatory-intelligence platform. I worked on the backend of a workforce-analytics product with enterprise clients including Netflix and Google. I also run my own distributed scraper that tracks Shopify storefronts over time. WHAT I BUILD - Web scraping at scale: Scrapy, Playwright, async Python. JS-heavy and protected sites, proxy rotation, retries, scheduling, and monitoring, so scrapers keep running after handoff - Data pipelines: clean, deduplicated, structured output to PostgreSQL, Snowflake, CSV, or your API, with dbt models and Pandas transforms - Backend & APIs: FastAPI, Django, Flask, background jobs (Celery, Dramatiq, Redis), OAuth2/JWT/SSO, and integrations with Stripe, Shopify, and Google - Automation & AI: workflow automation, n8n, LLM integrations (OpenAI, Claude), RAG, and AI classification/enrichment of scraped data - Full stack when needed: React/Next.js dashboards and admin panels on top of the backend SELECTED WORK - RegGenome: 20+ production scrapers (Scrapy, Playwright, Selenium) feeding a regulatory-intelligence platform - Vaco: Flask backends and automated data pipelines for a workforce-analytics platform serving enterprise clients - Adaca: Django APIs, Snowflake pipelines, dbt data modeling - Braathe (6+ years): FastAPI microservices on Azure with Docker and Kubernetes HOW I WORK - A short written plan before any code: scope, risks, timeline - Regular progress updates, so you don't have to ask - Code you fully own, with tests, Docker setup, and a README, so your team can run it without me - If something isn't feasible, or a target site carries legal or technical risk, I tell you early STACK Python · FastAPI · Django · Flask · Scrapy · Playwright · Selenium · PostgreSQL · MySQL · MongoDB · Snowflake · dbt · Pandas · Redis · Celery · Docker · Kubernetes · Azure · AWS · React · Next.js Have a site you need data from, or a backend that needs to scale?
