Hi, I'm Heshan πŸ‘‹

I build data-driven platforms, automation systems, and backend services focused on real-world scale, performance, and security.

My recent work centers around social media datasets, data collection pipelines, APIs, and analytics-friendly systems, with a strong interest in offensive security and system internals.

I prefer building usable products over demos.


πŸš€ What I Build

  • πŸ“Š Social Media Dataset Platforms
  • βš™οΈ Automated Data Collection & Pipelines
  • 🌐 APIs for Data Access & Export
  • πŸ” Security-aware Systems
  • 🧠 Tools that turn raw data into usable insights

πŸ› οΈ Core Skills & Tools

Backend & Data Engineering

  • Python: Core backend logic, automation, data pipelines
  • FastAPI: REST APIs, authentication, dataset access
  • PostgreSQL: Structured storage, relations, migrations
  • Data Processing: CSV / JSON exports, normalization, analysis-ready datasets

Web Automation & Data Collection

  • Playwright (Python):
    • Dynamic content scraping
    • Browser-level automation
    • Pagination, selectors, timing & robustness
  • Anti-bot Awareness: Rate limits, delays, behavior realism

Systems & DevOps Basics

  • Linux: CLI-first workflow, system debugging
  • Bash: Automation scripts, tooling
  • Git & GitHub: Versioned, structured projects

Security Foundations

  • Networking & Enumeration
  • Understanding how web systems fail
  • Security-first thinking when building tools

πŸ“‚ Featured Work

πŸ”Ή Social Media Dataset Platform (Active)

A dataset-focused platform that:

  • Collects structured social media data
  • Stores it in a relational database
  • Exposes it via APIs
  • Supports exports for research, analysis, and ML workflows

Focus:
Data quality > scale > usability


πŸ”Ή Automation & Collection Tools

  • Custom Playwright collectors
  • Query-based data collection
  • Export-ready pipelines (CSV / JSON)
  • Designed for repeatability and maintainability

πŸ”Ή Backend Infrastructure

  • API-first architecture
  • Authentication & access control
  • Dataset cataloging & metrics

Most repositories are functional systems, not tutorials.


🧠 Currently Learning

  • Advanced Playwright & scraping resilience
  • Backend architecture & scalability
  • PostgreSQL performance & schema design
  • Linux internals
  • Offensive security & penetration testing

πŸ” Cybersecurity & Pentesting Path

I’m actively building a strong offensive security foundation to better understand:

  • How systems break
  • How data leaks happen
  • How automation can be abused or defended

Platforms & Focus

  • Hack The Box (HTB)
  • Networking & enumeration
  • Web & system logic
  • Tool-assisted and manual techniques

Goal:
Blend engineering + security to build stronger systems.
