PYTHON • AUTOMATION • API INTEGRATION

I build the tools
you don't want
to do manually.

I turn repetitive work into practical, reliable automation — from custom Python scripts to API-connected workflows and spreadsheet systems.

THE PROBLEM

Manually checking trades, identifying items, updating quantities, and maintaining historical records becomes repetitive and easy to get wrong.

THE SOLUTION

A Python system that connects Steam's Web API with Google Sheets and keeps the inventory workflow organized automatically.

01
Problem

Trade activity and inventory changes needed to be tracked without repeatedly checking and updating records by hand.

02
Implementation

Python retrieves Steam trade data, identifies Dota 2 items, maintains persistent state, and synchronizes structured Google Sheets records.

03
Reliability

The workflow includes retry handling, duplicate/previous-state checks, a dry-run mode, and safeguards around spreadsheet writes.

04
Result

A repeatable workflow that keeps trade history and live inventory information organized with much less manual work.

WHY WORK WITH ME

Practical first.
Reliable second.

I focus on useful automation that solves the actual repetitive part of a workflow — without adding unnecessary complexity.

01

Problem-first

Start with the task you want to eliminate, then build the simplest tool that fits it.

02

Real integrations

Connect APIs, spreadsheets, files, and services into one repeatable workflow.

03

Safer execution

Use retries, state checks, and controlled testing to make automation more dependable.

04

Clear handoff

Keep the workflow understandable so it can be run, checked, and maintained.

02 / SERVICES

What I can automate for you.

If you're doing the same task again and again, there's a good chance it can be turned into a tool.

Custom Tools

Small, focused software built around the specific problem you need solved.

03 / HOW I WORK

Simple problem. Practical solution.

01

Understand

Figure out what is repetitive, what needs to move, and what the finished workflow should look like.

02

Build

Create the automation, connect the required APIs, and handle the data and edge cases.

03

Test

Test safely, add error handling, and make sure the tool behaves predictably.

04

Deliver

Provide a usable tool and clear instructions so the workflow is easy to run and maintain.

04 / ABOUT

Hi, I'm Earl.

I like building things that are actually useful.

I focus on practical automation: taking a task that requires too much clicking, copying, checking, or updating and turning it into a repeatable workflow.

My work involves Python, APIs, spreadsheets, data processing, and custom tools. I'm especially interested in projects where a small piece of software can save someone a lot of repetitive work.
