Eddie Sheehy
Scraping infrastructure and full-stack engineer
Profile
I build and run scraping infrastructure for a living: proxy routing, anti-bot handling and cloud browsers at ScrapeOps. I also built the booking, payments and back-office platform behind Armed Solutions, the company I co-founded. I like the work where cost, reliability and customers meet, and I pick up problems before they reach the board.
open to Freelance: fixed-scope audits and short builds, alongside my full-time role.
