Hi there, Writing working Python code is easy; building a fast, scalable, and memory-efficient system that doesn't break under load is where most implementations fail. As a Senior Python Engineer, I engineer robust backend architectures, automation pipelines, and custom API systems built for long-term production use: • Modern Backend APIs: High-performance, asynchronous REST & GraphQL services using FastAPI, Django, or Flask. • Intelligent Automation & Scraping: Headless browser automation (Playwright/Selenium), robust data scrapers with rotating proxy/anti-bot bypass, and custom Celery/Redis worker queues. • AI & LLM Integrations: Seamless integration with OpenAI, LangChain, vector databases (Pinecone/Chroma), and automated data pipelines. • Database & Query Optimization: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis caching, and Dockerized deployments designed for high throughput and zero bottlenecks. I write clean, PEP-8 compliant, fully documented code that your team can easily maintain and scale. Do you have a technical spec, repo, or API documentation ready? Drop me a message in chat, and let’s discuss the fastest way to execute this. Best regards, Deva | Senior Python & Backend Engineer

A funding database only becomes useful if the records are recent, deduplicated, and traceable back to the original announcement. I’d treat this as a data-quality project as much as a scraping one, using Python to collect, standardize, merge, and verify company records across multiple public sources. My experience is strongest in pulling structured and semi-structured data with Python, Pandas, BeautifulSoup, and browser automation where pages need rendering. For a startup funding dataset like this, I’d work from funding/news sources, public startup listings, and company-level pages to capture company details, round data, investors, and source URLs while clearly marking unavailable fields instead of forcing bad data. If helpful, I can also include a short process note so recurring collection is easier later. - Do you already have preferred sources you want included or excluded? - Approximately how many companies would make this first phase successful for you? - Should founder/CEO LinkedIn collection be limited strictly to clearly public profiles?

Hello, The main challenge is building a reliable, deduplicated database of recently funded companies across the USA, Europe, and Australia, while preserving verifiable sources and clearly reporting unavailable fields. I can deliver an initial milestone focused on the last 30-90 days, with an agreed target of approximately 150-250 qualified company records. I would use Python with Requests, BeautifulSoup, Scrapy or Playwright where permitted, and Pandas for normalization, validation, deduplication, and Excel or CSV export. Potential sources include public funding announcements, company newsrooms, reputable startup databases, venture capital portfolio pages, and business news sites, while respecting terms, access restrictions, and privacy requirements. Similar work includes structured web data collection, semi-structured content extraction, API integrations, entity matching, and reusable automation workflows. Each record will include source URLs and consistent funding, location, sector, investor, and leadership fields wherever publicly available. Within 7 days, I will provide the first working dataset, scraping workflow, documentation, and a coverage and limitations report. The implementation will be clean, maintainable, and ready for recurring updates. Best regards, Bohdan

A web scraping project to collect and organize data on recently funded companies across the USA, Europe and Australia is exactly the kind of data collection work I do. Your brief is clear: build a structured, accurate and regularly updatable database of companies that have recently raised funding, including company details, funding information, website and key decision-makers where publicly available. I would build this as a Python scraping pipeline that identifies recently funded companies from public sources, extracts the relevant data points and organizes them into a clean structured database. On the approach: I would first identify the best public sources for funding announcements across the three regions, then build scrapers that extract company name, funding amount, funding round, date, website and any available contact information. The data would be deduplicated, validated and stored in a format that is easy to query and update. The deliverable is a structured database you can use for outreach or research. A few questions: 1. Do you have a preferred format for the output - CSV, Excel, or a database you can query? 2. How frequently do you need the data updated, and is this a one-time collection or an ongoing subscription? 3. Are there specific data points beyond what you listed that are most valuable for your use case? Happy to share recent web scraping or data collection work on request.

Hello, Collecting startup funding data across multiple regions often hits snags with inconsistent website structures and anti-scraping measures. I’ll use Playwright for dynamic content, paired with Scrapy for efficient crawling, ensuring we capture all 16 fields reliably. The data will be cleaned and deduplicated using Pandas, delivered in a structured CSV within 3 days. Can you confirm if you have preferred sources for funding announcements, or should I focus on Crunchbase and AngelList as primary targets?
