Cross-platform freelance talent search (archived)
Aggregated freelancer profiles from multiple platforms (Upwork, Fiverr, Toptal) into a single search with consistent skill filtering and rate comparison. The live app has since been archived; this page is the writeup.
Finding freelancers means searching Upwork, Fiverr, Toptal, and a handful of others separately, comparing apples-to-oranges profile formats by hand.
Flask aggregator pulled profiles from each source, normalised them into a common shape (name, skills, rate, rating, last active), and served a single search/filter UI.

Worked. Was useful. Was eventually retired because keeping the scrapers up against three platforms was more maintenance than the search was returning. Kept here as a portfolio entry — the lessons stick.
