Nick Papanastasis
Undergraduate Student Researcher
I am an engineer focused on architecting resilient full-stack systems, automated ETL pipelines, and spatial information platforms.
With a strong foundation in Electrical & Computer Engineering, I specialize in combining Python backend microservices, PostgreSQL/PostGIS spatial databases, and reactive user interfaces to transform complex raw datasets into actionable insights.
Undergraduate Student Researcher
CURRENT- Discovered and reverse-engineered undocumented web or mobile APIs from well-known listing platforms, bypassing the fragile and computationally intensive process of DOM parsing.
- Designed fault-tolerant Python and Scrapy ingestion pipelines capable of navigating software - and hardware-level defenses, including TLS/browser fingerprinting and hardware integrity checks achieving high item yields at 40-50 items/min.
- Transformed unstructured listing data, normalized disparate schemas of 7 platforms, and output structured database tables optimized for further analysis, including PostGIS spatial analysis and machine learning.
- Containerized the entire codebase with Docker, making it possible to run in any environment.
DML Real Estate
Full-stack engineering of an end-to-end real estate market observatory. This includes automated ETL pipelines, while also leveraging Postgres with PostGIS enabled for handling spatial data. Furthermore, the frontend features interactive maps with Leaflet.js or BI graphs/reports from Metabase.
Integrated Master in Electrical and Computer Engineering
