Matthew Munro Email & Phone Number

Hello! I’m Matt (: I am a self taught software developer with a strong background in automation, web scraping, and content management systems. My journey into programming began with creating Minecraft mods, where I developed a love for coding and problem-solving. Since then, I’ve expanded my skills into more advanced automation, web scraping, and project management.*Key Projects:***Project Overview: Advanced Web Scraper with Proxy Aggregation & Validation**Designed and developed a sophisticated web scraping solution focused on TikTok content, integrated with an intelligent proxy system for robust performance. The solution includes:- **Dynamic Proxy Management**: Developed a comprehensive proxy scraping, aggregation, and validation system. The tool intelligently sources free proxies, validates them, and rotates through them to ensure uninterrupted access and avoid rate-limiting. - **Optimized Scraping Capabilities**: The web scraper efficiently extracts metadata and downloads TikTok videos based on user-defined keywords, trending content, and hashtags. It also supports continuous crawling, adapting to trending data for fresh, high-traffic content. - **File Handling & Metadata Extraction**: Implemented precise video downloading with filename sanitization and automatic metadata storage, ensuring compatibility across various platforms. Barcode Scanning Macro in Excel: - Designed a barcode tracking system that automatically scanned UPC gun numbers into an Excel spreadsheet, filtering guns based on check-in status, and automating date entry. - Created user-friendly buttons for filtering, validation, and report generation, allowing users to easily check missing items, validate gun check-ins, and auto-generate email reports. - Streamlined inventory management for increased productivity and accuracy.Minecraft Modding and Plugin creation (Early Experience): - My journey into programming began with Minecraft modding as well as Minecraft Server creation and plugins, where I built custom game mechanics and features, laying the foundation for my coding skills. - Gained hands-on experience with Java and object-oriented programming, which led me to pursue larger software development projects.- Inadvertently introduced me to computer file system architecture and hierarchy, and computer networking**Skills**:| Python | Automation & Scripting | Web Scraping | Data Extraction | API Integration | Excel Macro Development | Proxy Management | Content Distribution | SEO | YouTube Automation | Project Management | Java |
