My Journey as a Web Scraping Professional on Fiverr

Fiverr • Fulltime

Oct 2014 - Present • 11 yrs 9 mos

Twelve years ago I started working on Fiverr with a goal: helping businesses collect accurate data from the web. What started as a few web scraping projects turned into a full-time job. Over the years I have had the chance to work with clients from around the world each with different needs and challenges. I have collected data for stores, business lists, real estate websites, shipping companies, healthcare providers and many other types of businesses. Every project has taught me something. Some websites were easy to work with while others needed solutions because of changing page layouts, captchas, restrictions, limitations and other technical issues. I like solving those problems it is one of the best parts of my job. I think that collecting data from the web is more than getting information. Clean and accurate data helps businesses make decisions and saves them a lot of time. That is why I always try to give my clients results that they can use away. Looking back I am thankful that my clients have trusted me for the twelve years. Many of them have come back with projects and those long-term relationships have been the best part of my freelance work. I keep learning getting better, at what I do. I like helping businesses turn web data into useful information that they can use to make their businesses better.
