Data Services

Data ETL

Good, relevant, timely data is vital in making informed business decisions.

I help businesses identify sources, collect data, transform it into desirable format, and load it into database or analytical system, whether you’re dealing with spreadsheets, databases, APIs, or legacy systems.

01

Extract

from most common sources
0 0 : 0 1
Extract or receive data from spreadsheets, databases, web forms, log files, web APIs, hardware sensors, and many other sources.
10

Transform

into specified format
0 0 : 1 0
Clean given data, then convert it into desired format.
11

exactly where, when, and how you specify
0 0 : 1 1
Deliver processed data as files, email, SMS, database, chart, image, web site, API, web app, or many other formats.

Data Visualization

I create accessible visuals that bring data to life and reveal insightful patterns, trends, outliers, and relationships.

They communicate insights clearly and efficiently, and make it easier for both technical and non-technical audiences to understand and act on information.

Prompt Engineering for AI

AI prompts that unlock power and get the most from AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for a specific task or workflow.

Imagine generating high-quality content, analyzing data, or automating tasks in minutes, not hours. As an IT pro focused on small businesses, I craft precise prompts that fit your needs, helping you save time, boost efficiency, and cut costs.

Custom Data Generation and Scraping

Sometimes available, off-the-shelf data just isn’t enough for testing, development, machine learning, process validation, or simulation purposes. For such cases I can create high-quality, custom datasets with data that fully satisfies given specification, or mimic real-world conditions.

* * *

Does your business need structured data from online platforms?

I offer efficient data scraping services and solutions that extract available information ranging from product listings, stock and crypto prices, air pollution levels, sea surface temperatures, to industry-specific datasets.

This service can handle complex structures as well as dynamic content, and deliver results in the format you need, on the schedule you choose.

 
* I strictly follow legal framework and terms of use for each individual web site.

Custom Solutions - desktop, mobile, microservices, etc.

When you face a problem that does not quite fit into common IT categories, and require more than of-the-shelf solution.

I can analyze situation and requirements, and offer a custom IT solution that will connect all the dots and assist you in running your business with confidence.
