About Valentina Skakun

I'm a technical writer and Python programmer with a passion for automation and web scraping. I love to simplify complex technical concepts and share my knowledge with others through clear and concise articles. I'm always looking for innovative ways to make everyday tasks more efficient and streamlined with code and automation.

One of my most exciting projects involved creating a web scraping add-on and developing rank tracking solutions using Google Apps Script. I love exploring new technologies and staying up-to-date on emerging programming languages.

Outside of work, I'm always exploring new challenges in the tech world. Whether it's unraveling data or optimizing processes, I'm always eager to learn and apply my skills to create meaningful solutions.
