Software Developer & Automation Specialist

I build production AI agents, web scrapers, and automation pipelines. Most of what I publish here comes from the actual problems they run into: proxies that get banned, anti-bot stacks that fingerprint your client, RAG that drifts when the underlying data moves. Stack: Python, TypeScript, Go, FastAPI, LangChain, Crawlee, Playwright, deployed on AWS, GCP, and Cloudflare.

The Apify Store includes a large selection of Facebook scraping tools. Below are top actors built and maintained by the Apify team, with regular updates for Facebook's anti-scraping measures.
