Web scraping & data collection

Tell me what data you need, I'll build a system that collects it automatically.

I build web scrapers and data pipelines that pull information from websites, clean it up, and deliver it in a format you can actually use — on a schedule, without anyone doing it by hand.

Sound familiar?

Manual data collection doesn't scale

Most businesses that come to me are dealing with one of these problems.

  • Someone on your team spends hours a week copying information from websites into a spreadsheet.
  • You need to track competitor prices or listings, but checking manually doesn't scale.
  • You need the same kind of information from several different websites, pulled into one place.
  • Your data goes stale because nobody has time to refresh it regularly.
  • You don't have the time, or the in-house skills, to build and maintain a scraper yourselves.

These are automation problems, not staffing problems. A system that collects the data for you removes the manual work entirely — and keeps running long after the initial setup.

What I do

Practical outcomes, not just scripts

Every service below is about what you get, not the tools used to build it.

All services

Web scraping

Turn any public website into structured data you can actually use.

Automated data collection

Process

How it works

01

Tell me what data you need

You describe the data, the source websites, and how often you need it. I confirm it's feasible and appropriate to collect.

02

I build the data collection system

A scraper or pipeline built for your specific sources — not a generic tool bolted on afterwards.

03

Data is cleaned and structured

Raw results are normalised into consistent fields, ready to load into whatever you use downstream.

04

Data is delivered automatically

On a schedule if you need it, in the format you asked for — CSV, Excel, JSON, database or API.

Why work with me

A direct, practical approach

Built around your data, not a generic tool

Every source is different. I build the collection system around your specific websites and requirements rather than forcing them through an off-the-shelf tool.

Runs on its own

Once set up, collection runs automatically on the schedule you need — no one has to remember to trigger it.

Structured, usable output

You get clean, consistent data in the format you asked for, not a raw dump that still needs work.

You talk to the person doing the work

No account managers, no handoffs between teams. If something needs adjusting, you tell me directly.

Simple over clever

I'd rather build the right, straightforward solution than something needlessly complex.
