eBay Competitor Tracker & Product Data Extraction Tool
Built a Python-based web scraping and browser automation tool for extracting structured product and competitor data from eBay.
The tool accepts a search keyword, eBay country/market, and product limit, then uses Playwright and Chromium to collect detailed public listing information, including product titles, prices, shipping costs, total prices, currency, condition, seller information, feedback, item location, number sold, watchers, listing type, time remaining, product URLs, and image URLs.
It supports 8 eBay markets and handles pagination, duplicate listings, locale-specific price formats, retries, and logging.
The scraper generates Excel, CSV, and JSON outputs. The Excel workbook also includes an analytics sheet for summarizing pricing and seller information.
I also implemented responsible scraping practices, including configurable delays and retry/backoff handling, without using account login, CAPTCHA solving, fingerprint spoofing, or proxy rotation to bypass restrictions.
Tech: Python, Playwright, Chromium, BeautifulSoup, openpyxl, JSON, CSV.

📊 From Raw PDF Data to Actionable Business Insights
Recently, I worked on a practical data analysis task where I transformed raw sales data from a PDF into a structured Excel dataset and turned it into meaningful business insights.
🔹 What I worked on:
• Converted raw PDF sales data into Excel
• Cleaned and structured the dataset
• Created an Excel Table for organized data management
• Used Pivot Tables to summarize sales and quantity
• Analyzed product/category-wise performance
• Created Pivot Charts to visualize sales across different customer cities
• Converted raw numbers into easy-to-understand insights
📈 This exercise helped me strengthen my understanding of Excel, Data Cleaning, Pivot Tables, Data Analysis, and Data Visualization.
The key takeaway for me was simple:
Raw data is just information — structured data and visualization turn it into insights that can support better business decisions.
I’m continuing to build my skills in Excel & Data Analytics through hands-on projects and real-world datasets.

Designed a homepage mockup for Easy Way, a Port Harcourt-based gadgets shopping service, reimagining it as a dedicated online gadgets store rather than a WhatsApp-only catalog. The concept introduces product cards with pricing, ratings, and stock status, plus a direct WhatsApp compose option for quick questions, inspired by leading gadget retail sites but tailored to Easy Way's brand and customer base. The mockup was well received by the client, and the full store build including cart, checkout, and an admin panel for stock management.--- is in progress.
