👋 Hi, I'm Abass Owolabi — Python Developer & Web Scraping Enthusiast

I studied Microbiology at Adekunle Ajasin University, but I’ve always been drawn to tech. After graduation, I felt stuck—no job, no clear direction, and like my degree wasn’t enough.

Back in school, I ran a clothing business selling men’s wear online and even had a physical shop. But I wanted more—a skill I could carry anywhere. I’ve always dreamed of working from anywhere in the world. That’s when I started seriously exploring tech.

I discovered Python in late 2024 and saw it as the key to everything I was looking for: automation, web scraping, and eventually blockchain development.


📚 What I've Learned So Far

I began with Mosh Hamedani’s free Python course in December 2024, which gave me a strong Python foundation and introduced me to building simple websites with Django.

Then I completed the Python for Everybody specialization on Coursera, earning these certificates:

Programming for Everybody
Python Data Structures
Using Python to Access Web Data

In May 2025, I completed this Udemy course to deepen my web scraping skills:

Scrapy Course

These courses gave me a strong foundation in Python, web APIs, and data extraction—skills I now use in real-world projects.


🧰 Projects I’ve Built

Here are some real-world tools I created to sharpen my skills and solve practical problems:

  • 🛒 jumia_phone_tracker
    A Scrapy-based crawler that scrapes mobile phone listings from Jumia Nigeria and stores them in MongoDB. Built to monitor price trends and new listings for deal hunters.

  • 🌍 ladies_details_scraper
    A Selenium-based scraper that extracts usernames and phone numbers from ladies.de, handling dynamic content, regional filters, cookie popups, and pagination.

  • 📈 trending_crypto_tracker
    A terminal script that pulls the top 30 crypto gainers using the Coingecko API, saves snapshots as JSON, and generates clean bar charts of 24-hour price changes.

  • 🏠 real-estate-scraper-nigeria-property-centre
    A Playwright-powered scraper that extracts detailed house listings (price, specs, agent info, and more) from Nigeria Property Centre. Built to simplify real estate data collection for Lagos properties and save results to JSON and CSV.

  • 🛒 konga_product_scraper
    A Scrapy scraper that pulls product listings from Konga.com with full pagination support. Stores structured data in MongoDB and is designed for integration with a lightweight search-based web app.


🎯 What's Next?

  • Build and deploy more practical tools for real-world and online problems
  • Learn more about backend systems, APIs, and blockchain development
  • Offer freelance web scraping and automation services
  • Keep growing, one project at a time
