Web crawling | AI Automation | API Integration | Django
I build Python backend systems, AI-powered automation, API integrations, and SaaS applications that help businesses reduce manual work and streamline operations. With 15+ years of software development experience across backend engineering, web applications, integrations, and automation, I focus on building practical, maintainable solutions that work reliably in production. 📊 MY UPWORK TRACK RECORD 🏅 100% Job Success 💰 $400k+ Earned ⏱️ 6,000+ Upwork Hours 🤝 45+ Clients Served 🐍 PYTHON DEVELOPMENT & DJANGO I develop backend systems, REST APIs, business applications, and data-processing tools using Python and modern backend technologies. My Python development services include: • Django application development • FastAPI and Flask backends • REST API development • Database design and optimization • Authentication and business logic • Background jobs and scheduled tasks • Backend debugging and performance improvements • Third-party API integrations Whether you need a new backend, an existing application improved, or a Python script converted into a maintainable service, I can help plan and implement the solution. 🤖 AI AUTOMATION & LLM INTEGRATION I integrate AI capabilities into existing applications and business workflows to automate repetitive tasks and make information easier to process. AI-related projects can include: • OpenAI and other LLM API integrations • AI-powered internal tools • Document processing and information extraction • Automated classification and data processing • AI-assisted customer support workflows • Business process automation • AI-connected backend services • Integrations between AI services and existing software My focus is on connecting AI to useful business functionality, rather than building a chatbot that operates in isolation. ⚙️ PYTHON AUTOMATION & WORKFLOW DEVELOPMENT I build automation that connects applications, processes data, and reduces repetitive manual work. Examples include: • Automated reporting and data processing • Scheduled tasks and background workflows • CRM and business system automation • Data synchronization between platforms • File processing and information extraction • Automated notifications and API-driven workflows Where appropriate, I combine Python code with workflow tools such as n8n or Zapier, based on the project's requirements and the tools I can support. 🔗 API INTEGRATION & BACKEND CONNECTIVITY I help applications communicate reliably through APIs, webhooks, and automated data flows. My integration work includes: • REST API development and integration • Third-party SaaS integrations • Payment API integrations, including Stripe where applicable • Webhooks and event processing • Authentication and OAuth flows • Data synchronization and validation • API error handling and troubleshooting • Integration testing and production debugging I pay attention to edge cases, failed requests, data consistency, and maintainability so integrations remain manageable as applications evolve. 🕷️ WEB SCRAPING & DATA PROCESSING I develop data extraction and processing workflows for projects that require structured information from websites and online sources. Depending on the project, I work with: • Python Requests and BeautifulSoup • Scrapy • Selenium and Playwright • Data cleaning and validation • Structured output and database storage • Scheduled extraction and processing • Integration with APIs and internal systems The goal is to deliver useful, validated data that can feed into business applications, reporting systems, and automation workflows. 🛠️ TECHNOLOGIES Languages: Python, Ruby, JavaScript, TypeScript Backend: Django, Flask, FastAPI, Ruby on Rails Frontend: React, Next.js, HTML, CSS APIs: REST APIs, webhooks, third-party integrations Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB Automation & Data: Python automation, web scraping, scheduled jobs, data processing Infrastructure: Docker, Linux, AWS, GitHub Actions AI Integrations: LLM APIs and AI-powered application workflows 🚀 HOW I APPROACH PROJECTS Understand your requirements, existing workflow, and business objectives. Identify the appropriate architecture, integrations, and implementation approach. Develop the solution with attention to code quality, validation, and error handling. Test the important workflows and edge cases. Support deployment, debugging, and ongoing improvements where required. I have worked on projects involving platforms and businesses such as Donorbox, Sonder, SportsEngine, DemandSphere, Olery, Allocator, ChartMogul, and Zen Arbitrage. My specific contribution varied by project. If you need a Python developer for Django development, API integration, AI-powered workflows, backend engineering, or business process automation, send me your requirements. I'll help you identify a practical approach and the next steps for your project.
