I currently have an application that we are using the Google API to generate a list of businesses. For example we search Dentist in Seattle, WA. All the dentists in that area's information is brought into our application.

We then create direct mail letters that are highly personalized to those businesses and print them out to send direct mail to them.

I want to build in the ability to also scrape the emails addresses so that we can send emails out along with the direct mail pieces.

Put the words "Hi Z" at the beginning of the application or it will be immediately denied.

Hi Z, Hi, my name is David, a seasoned Laravel developer with more than 10 years of experience in PHP, and a strong track record with Laravel since version 4.2. My skillset includes vue.js, TailwindCSS, Bootstrap CSS, and anything Laravel can handle. I understand from your job posting that you are looking to enhance your application by integrating email scraping functionalities into your existing system that currently uses the Google API to pull business data. I have substantial experience in integrating and handling APIs as well as performing web scraping tasks efficiently. In previous projects, I’ve developed solutions where email scraping was essential, using both Laravel and custom PHP scripts to gather and process data. For instance, I worked on an e-commerce platform where we implemented a similar system to scrape supplier data and contact information, streamlining our client's supply chain operations. What excites me about your project is the challenge of not only scraping emails but integrating this functionality seamlessly with your current application to enhance the personalization of your direct mail campaigns. I am familiar with various methods of web scraping and ensuring the respect of legal and ethical standards, which I believe are crucial for your project's success. My approach typically includes a thorough analysis of the existing system, followed by a strategic implementation of new features ensuring they work in harmony without disrupting the current application's functionality. I believe in clean, maintainable code with clear documentation which makes future updates and scalability a smoother process. I'm based in Darlington, North East, but am fully equipped to work remotely and align with any team’s working hours. Communication and timely updates are crucial, and I'm comfortable using platforms such as Slack, JIRA, or Trello to keep everyone on the same page. I am eager to discuss how I can contribute to your project. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to the possibility of working together. Best regards, David
