I’m a former Telecom Network Operations Manager with over 30+ years of experience in mission-critical environments, now focused on Python development, particularly in web scraping, PDF/image parsing, data science and data automation. My transition into programming started within telecom operations, where I developed tools in Python and Shell scripting to automate repetitive tasks, extract KPIs, and improve fault detection. To formalize my skills, I completed the IBM Data Science Professional Certificate, gaining hands-on experience with Python, SQL, Jupyter, data analysis, and basic machine learning. ✅ Key Skills & Tools - Python, Shell scripting, Linux, MySQL - Web scraping with Playwright, Selenium, BeautifulSoup - PDF/image parsing, OCR (Tesseract), pdfplumber - Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib, Jupyter Notebooks - SQL, basic EDA, and data visualization - Reliable, methodical, results-oriented - Background in telecommunications, signaling (MAP, ISUP, SCCP, BSSMAP) 🛠 Sample Projects - Scraped data from complex web pages and converted to structured Excel/CSV - Parsed scanned PDFs and forms using OCR + Python I combine strong operational discipline with continuous learning and practical coding experience.
