Selenium

Large-Scale Environmental Data Collection Automation: Developed comprehensive web scraping systems at INTERA that automated the collection of hundreds of tabular datasets from public and private company websites. The challenge involved creating reliable automation that could handle diverse website structures while maintaining data quality and organization. Successfully implemented Microsoft Edge WebDriver with WebDriverWait strategies to ensure complete page loading before data extraction, transforming manual processes that would take days into automated workflows that deliver structured JSON outputs. This solution directly supported environmental consulting projects by providing organized, reliable data collection for INTERA employees.

Flask-Selenium Integration for Data Verification: Architected a comprehensive debugging and verification system that combines Selenium web scraping with Flask backend services. The challenge involved ensuring data collection accuracy while providing systematic debugging capabilities throughout the scraping process. Successfully implemented a Flask application that verifies correct data collection by processing and displaying organized JSON outputs, enabling real-time monitoring of scraping progress and immediate identification of any data collection issues. This integrated approach ensured reliable data quality for environmental consulting applications.

Multi-Source Tabular Data Standardization: Created sophisticated data collection workflows that extract tabular information from diverse public and partner websites, standardizing the output into consistent JSON format regardless of source website structure. The solution involved developing adaptive scraping strategies that could handle different table formats, data layouts, and website architectures while maintaining consistent output structure. This standardization enabled INTERA employees to work with uniform data formats across multiple sources, significantly improving workflow efficiency.

WebDriverWait Optimization for Dynamic Content: Solved complex timing challenges when scraping websites with dynamic content loading by implementing strategic WebDriverWait configurations. The challenge involved ensuring complete data extraction from websites that load content asynchronously or use JavaScript to populate tables. Successfully developed timing strategies that balance scraping speed with data completeness, ensuring no information is missed while maintaining efficient automation performance.
