Built a Python-based web scraping system that automates the extraction of book data from a multi-page online catalog.

The scraper efficiently navigates paginated pages, collects product links, extracts structured information, and exports clean datasets in both CSV and JSON formats.

Key Features:

• Automatic pagination handling • Category-based filtering • Keyword search functionality • Retry mechanisms for failed requests • Robust error handling • Structured data export for analysis and integration

Extracted Data:

• Book title • Price • Rating • Availability status • Product description • Category • Product URL

Tech Stack:

Python | Requests | BeautifulSoup | CSV | JSON

This project strengthened my understanding of web scraping architecture, data extraction pipelines, HTML parsing, and building resilient automation systems.

A personal Excel/CSV data-cleaning demo: 8 fictional input rows become 7 after removing one exact duplicate. Zero stock is preserved; a missing price stays blank and is flagged. The original data is retained for comparison. This is a self-initiated example, not client work.

I can help with Excel/CSV cleaning, reconciliation and clear reports. We agree scope, price and delivery after reviewing a sample. First project: 50% off the agreed regular quote, with no future-order commitment.

Great approach to data cleaning! Preserving the original data while flagging missing values and removing only exact duplicates helps maintain accuracy and transparency. These small checks can make a big difference in reliable reporting.
