Muhammad Z.
Python Engineer | APIs, Web Scraping & Automation
I'm a Python Developer with 4 years of professional experience specializing in backend architecture, data extraction, and workflow automation. I build systems designed for production environments with reliability, performance, and security at their core. My background in offensive security gives me a distinct advantage. Having identified critical vulnerabilities across authentication, access control, injection surfaces, and remote execution vectors, I approach every project with a deep understanding of how software fails and how to prevent it. Backend & APIs Production services with FastAPI, Django, and Flask. Auth, caching, rate limiting, task queues, structured logging, and monitoring. Built to scale from day one. Scraping & Data Pipelines High-volume extraction against enterprise-protected targets. Cloudflare, DataDome, PerimeterX, Akamai, CAPTCHA resolution. Structured, pipeline-ready output. Automation End-to-end workflow automation with n8n, Zapier, and custom scripting. Browser automation via Selenium and Playwright. Browser extensions for repetitive task elimination. Full-Stack Delivery React, Next.js, TypeScript on the frontend. Python on backend. Desktop applications with PyQt5. Mobile with Flutter and React Native. Backend is my strength, but I deliver complete solutions when required. Open Source Published packages (tubescrape, shopscout, wpscrape) on PyPI (linkedinscrape) on GitHub. Committed to contributing back to the community.
