Regan B.

Full Stack AI Engineer | Web Scraping & SaaS Master - 10 Years XP

I build AI-enabled SaaS platforms, automation systems, and data products that run reliably in production. Over the past several years I've delivered production software for startups, SMEs, and large organisations, taking projects from initial planning through architecture, development, deployment, and ongoing support. I'm Top Rated Plus on Upwork with $200K+ earned, 4,400+ hours, and a 100% Job Success score. I enjoy solving complex technical problems where AI, data, APIs, and business workflows come together. Whether that's building a new SaaS platform, integrating AI into an existing product, or stabilising a struggling system, I focus on delivering software that is maintainable, scalable, and practical to operate. WHAT I BUILD • AI-enabled SaaS platforms • Internal business systems and operational dashboards • Production AI and LLM integrations • Web scraping and large-scale data collection platforms • FastAPI and Django backend services • React and Next.js applications • REST APIs and third-party integrations • PostgreSQL database design and optimisation • Data pipelines, ETL, and reporting systems • Existing SaaS rescue and architecture improvements AI & AUTOMATION I regularly build AI features including: • LLM integrations using OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google models • Document processing and structured extraction • AI-powered search and retrieval • Classification, enrichment, matching, and summarisation • Tool calling and workflow automation • RAG and knowledge retrieval • Prompt engineering and structured outputs • Cost optimisation, caching, monitoring, and production reliability WEB SCRAPING & DATA Reliable scraping is about much more than collecting HTML. I build complete data platforms with scheduling, monitoring, validation, retries, browser automation, API delivery, and production support. Technologies include Playwright, Selenium, Scrapy, BeautifulSoup, Python, PostgreSQL, APIs, JSON, CSV, XML, and Excel processing. BACKEND & API DEVELOPMENT • Python • FastAPI • Django • TypeScript • Node.js • REST APIs • Webhooks • OAuth integrations • Background workers • Task queues • PostgreSQL • Redis FRONTEND • React • Next.js • TypeScript • Tailwind CSS I build admin portals, dashboards, workflow systems, review interfaces, and complete SaaS products that connect seamlessly to backend services. HOW I WORK I prefer to understand the business workflow before writing code. That usually means identifying the highest-risk technical decisions first, defining a practical MVP, and delivering in milestones that provide value early while keeping the system maintainable as it grows. Clients generally work with me because they want someone who can own the technical direction, communicate clearly, and solve difficult engineering problems without creating unnecessary complexity. If you have an existing codebase, a complex integration, or a new AI-enabled product, I'm happy to review the scope and suggest the most practical path forward.
