"I build Python tools that take messy data and turn it into something you can actually use — scrapers that pull and organize data from any site, financial models that drive real decisions, and automations that kill the repetitive stuff you shouldn't be doing by hand. What you get from me: Web Scraping & Data Extraction — I'll build you a custom scraper for whatever you need, whether that's lead gen, price monitoring, competitor tracking, or just pulling a ton of data at scale. I work with static sites and JavaScript-rendered pages using BeautifulSoup, Selenium, and requests. You get back clean CSVs, Excel files, or Google Sheets that are ready to go. Financial Modeling & Excel — DCFs, cash flow forecasts, unit economics, P&L dashboards, startup projections, whatever you need built out. I run a $100K+ e-commerce business and I've built the multi-tab Excel models behind it myself, tracking COGS, platform fees, and net margins down to the penny. Automation & Data Processing — If you're pulling data from APIs, cleaning datasets, merging files, or generating reports manually, I can write scripts that do all of it on a schedule so you never have to touch a spreadsheet again. I'm a Finance major at UW with a background in running a data-driven business, so I get both the technical side and the business side. I don't just extract numbers, I know which ones actually matter and why. Fast turnaround, clean documentation, and I scope everything upfront so you know exactly what you're getting before I start.
