------------ Summary ------------

Highly experienced programmer specializing in web scraping, automation, and software development. Skilled in Python, TypeScript, and other languages. Delivering high-quality solutions for clients.

------------------------ Working Philosophy ------------------------

Many people find satisfaction in working in various fields. These people call themselves "Jack of All Trades", believing that it will hide their shortcomings. I oppose this working philosophy and think that it is moot to work on your weakness when you have a plethora of strengths. I also think it is dishonest to pretend to be someone you are not. I believe in mastering one's strengths rather than spreading oneself too thin. I'm honest about my abilities and focus on delivering exceptional results in my area of expertise. Having said this, I believe I have the mastery of one skill: Programming.

-------------- Experience --------------

I can develop programs that range from automation scripts, utility tools, web scraping and crawling bots, system administration task schedulers, end-to-end tests to full-stack web applications. I can also develop GUI based Windows programs that can do various tasks.

------------------------ Technical Expertise ------------------------

I use Python and TypeScript as primary languages for my programs as I am experienced in many of their libraries. However, I also have experience in C++ and Rust. I have used C++ and Rust to not only develop native programs, but I have also built Python extension modules to speedup certain parts of code for image manipulation functions and number crunching arrays. I have also contributed fixes and additions to some open-source projects on GitHub that are C++ based, such as, PSP (PlayStation Portable) emulator PPSSPP, DeSmuME Nintendo DS emulator, etc. My specialty is in web scraping and automation technologies including but not limited to:

* Web scraping - playwright, selenium, scrapy, aiohttp

* Automation - desktop automation, batch processing, powershell, cron scripts, windows task scheduler

* Image manipulation - scikit-image, Pillow, OpenCV

* Data manipulation - pandas, numpy

* Machine learning - scikit-learn, PyTorch

* Web development - react, fastapi, flask
