Python Developer | Web Scraping & Data Automation
I’m Keenan Nilson, founder and solo developer of Milivault, a militaria search and research platform.
I build and maintain its Python scraping workflows, PostgreSQL data layer, Django application, classification work and cloud deployment. I use Codex extensively alongside manual work and troubleshooting.
I came to software through running an antiques business and studying European History. I’m interested in paid Python, scraping and data automation work, especially remote engagements that permit working from Japan.
Outside software, I enjoy restoring antiques, repairing cars and building things for my family.
What I work with
Python · Django · PostgreSQL · SQL
BeautifulSoup · Selenium · pandas · OpenAI API
AWS EC2, RDS & S3 · Render · Git
