Here is a my notebook for this project:


For this project I used Requests and Beautiful Soup to gather data off of a website then I cleaned it and stored it in a database so I could use it later.





The data was gathered from https://www.greybeardrealty.com/


The goal was to find homes in Asheville NC near lake lure.


Here is an example listing:


I noticed that I could change their URL to include up to 750 listings by editing &r=1-750& in the following url. (Do note opening this directly may lag the website)


“Altering the URL allowed me to gather quite a bit of information off their website.”

I viewed the source code for the website and gathered some intel on where the data was stored.


I loaded the first record and started to work with it. Using what I learned I started to find the information that I needed.



Which produced the results I was looking for.



“I looped through my results and built my database.”

Before:

Of course the data needed to be cleaned up a bit. For instance sq_feet was text data that needed to be separated and formatted.


After:


Now my data was ready to work with.

About Me

Data Science

Data Science isn't just my career; it's the realization of a lifelong passion where my love for mathematics, programming, and technology converge. Over the past 20 years, I've nurtured a deep fondness for computers, starting from building them to exploring their immense capabilities.

My academic path initially led me to programming and then chemistry, where I excelled nationally in the 98th percentile. This experience, however, led to an epiphany - it was the mathematical elements within chemistry that truly captivated me. This revelation steered me towards a scholarship in Mathematics and a subsequent career in teaching.

But the true calling came with Data Science. Here, I found an exhilarating opportunity to transform abstract mathematical theories into impactful, real-world applications. My focus now is on cutting-edge areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Neural Networks, Computer Vision, and Reinforcement Learning - fields where I can blend my analytical skills with creative problem-solving to innovate and advance the boundaries of technology.

Data Science for me is more than a profession; it's a canvas where I paint with numbers and algorithms, creating solutions that matter.
