About
Hi, I'm Ian! I'm the kind of person who sees something and immediately wonders how it could be done differently or better. That curiosity is what got me into tech, and honestly it's the same reason I got into producing music. Recent IT & BMS grad from St. Xavier's, Bombay.
Experience
Data Engineer
Cardora Technologies
4 mos · Vile parle, Mumbai
At Cardora Technologies I built and deployed multiple Python web crawlers targeting quick-commerce and e-commerce platforms including Zepto, Blinkit, JioMart, Instamart, and Amazon. The crawlers extracted and structured large volumes of product and pricing data to feed into a cross-platform price comparison app. A big chunk of the work was writing cleaning and normalisation scripts since each platform structures its data completely differently like; inconsistent formats, varying schemas, the works. Got some solid hands-on experience with data pipeline design, web scraping at scale, and working on a product that solves a real consumer problem.
