Freelance Developer - Web Scraping & Automation
Self-Employed • Freiberufler
Aug 2026 - Present • 2 mos
Open-source and published tooling for web scraping and automation. Two projects clients can inspect before hiring me: safe-ytdlp - a hardened yt-dlp wrapper for Node.js: SSRF host allowlist, command and argument injection protection, timeouts and concurrency limits. Zero dependencies, CI on Node 18, 20 and 22. Trade Fair Exhibitor Extractor - a published Apify Actor that pulls exhibitor contact details from trade fair directories. It decodes base64-obfuscated addresses, refuses the fair organiser's address, and reports every row it could not fill with a reason instead of dropping it. 41 unit tests built from real captured pages.
Founder & Software Engineer
TikCatch
Mar 2026 - Jul 2026 • 4 mos
Built and operated a production video-download service on Node.js, Express and yt-dlp. Sole engineer: I handled the whole stack end to end, from the extraction layer to deployment and day-to-day operations. Most of what I know about scraping came from running this in production rather than reading about it.
