Can you give some examples of projects you have worked on before?

Sure, I've worked on many freelance projects over the last few years, e.g. scraping business listings, social networks, comparison sites and real-time pricing data.

Recently I've used Python and Selenium to scrape sports results data behind a scraping protection service; parsing html using XPath/regex and merging of html and json data to CSV.

Let me know by email if I can help you with anything or just want to chat/network.
