Hi there, I’m excited to help scale your CRE data platform. With 5+ years in full-stack and backend work, I own data ingestion and web-scraping systems that run reliably at scale, even with messy HTML, rate limits, and CAPTCHAs. I’ll design reusable scraping pipelines across hundreds of sites, normalize data into clean schemas, and ensure no field is dropped (NOI, cap rate, square footage, price, URLs, images, contacts, etc.). I’ll add monitoring and alerts to catch failures early and tighten data contracts so ingestion, storage, and UI stay in sync. My focus is on production-grade reliability, speed, and clear ownership, with hands-on leadership to evolve the platform and keep delivery predictable. I’ll lead the setup of end-to-end ingestion, propose robustness improvements, and help shape engineering best practices as your team grows. I’m ready to start with a two-week bootstrap to stabilize core scrapers and ingestion, followed by iterative scaling and optimization. Please confirm the top priority data sources (CRE listings, auctions, tax records, distressed assets) and any new sources you plan to add soon. What ingestion cadence do you expect for each source (daily, weekly, or real-time) and what latency is acceptable? Which fields are mandatory for your UI and analytics (NOI, cap rate, price, square footage, URLs, images, contacts)? What quality threshold do you require for scraped data, and how should we handle missing or inconsistent fields? Do you have a preferre

Hello, The biggest problem in Commercial Real Estate tech isn’t collecting data, it’s keeping that data accurate, up to date, and trustworthy. This is hard because hundreds of sources, like county websites and auction portals, change their layouts without notice. I build self-healing data pipelines that automatically adapt to these changes. They don’t just pull data, they check it using real estate rules, like comparing NOI with cap rates, before the data shows up in your product. My Approach: => I implement multi-layered rotation (proxies/user-agents) and automated "heartbeat" monitoring. If a county tax site changes its pagination or hits a CAPTCHA, we’ll know in minutes, not days. => I'll build a rigorous validation layer. For example, if a scraped Square Footage or Price/SF looks like an outlier compared to historical records or similar listings, the system flags it for review rather than polluting your database. => Beyond simple scraping, I use LLMs to parse "messy" unstructured data, like extracting deal terms from PDF offering memorandums or classifying distressed assets based on legal descriptions. => I’m comfortable with your stack (Python/Node/Supabase) and focused on reducing "technical debt" so the system can handle 10x the current listing volume without a linear increase in maintenance hours. I can start immediately on a long-term hourly or retainer basis and grow into a technical lead role as you scale. Best regards, Niral

Hi, I work as a senior engineer focused on building resilient, production-grade data ingestion and scraping systems that scale without constant intervention. My background combines hands-on scraping at volume with backend ownership, ensuring data flows reliably from messy sources into clean, usable platforms. I design scraping pipelines that expect failure: adaptive parsers, change detection, retry logic, and monitoring so breaks are visible immediately rather than silently corrupting data. Normalization is treated as a first-class concern, with structured schemas that preserve all valuable CRE fields while remaining consistent for downstream analysis and UI use. On the platform side, I focus on performance, data integrity, and operational clarity—tight ingestion loops, predictable storage behavior, and fast access patterns. I’m comfortable improving existing systems rather than rewriting them, documenting decisions, and setting standards that make future scaling easier for additional engineers. I also integrate AI where it meaningfully reduces manual work, such as enrichment, classification, or prioritization, without introducing unnecessary complexity. I operate independently, surface risks early, and optimize for systems that keep working as volume increases. Regards, Soas

Hello! I have completed so many scraping projects so far and I got many 5 star reviews from the clients recently. I can show the working videos and screenshots of those results I have completed from scratch while chatting. I’ve spent 6+ years building and owning large-scale scraping and data ingestion pipelines across messy, high-change sources including government portals, auctions, and real estate listings. I’m comfortable handling pagination chaos, CAPTCHAs, rate limits, schema drift, and partial failures without losing data or trust. How I’d add value quickly • Stabilize existing scrapers with logging, alerts, and field-level completeness checks • Normalize ingestion flows from raw HTML → structured JSON → Postgres without data loss • Harden pipelines so broken sources surface immediately instead of weeks later • Optimize ingestion and backend performance as volume scales • Act as an owner, not a ticket-taker, flagging risks early and proposing architectural improvements Tech-wise I’m strongest in Python and Node, with Postgres/Supabase, queue-based ingestion, and background workers. I’ve also integrated AI for enrichment and classification where it actually reduces manual work, not just for buzzwords. I’m looking for exactly this kind of long-term, ownership-driven role and can start immediately. Happy to discuss current pain points and where reliability is breaking first.
