GIS SPECIALIST WANTED FOR SHORT ECOLOGICAL MODELLING REVIEW

I have developed a continental-scale GIS friction surface to explore possible directions and corridors of long-distance primate dispersal across eastern and southern Africa (using QGIS). Before developing the model further, I would like an independent specialist to advise whether applying relative costs to landscape features, followed by least-cost path analysis, is a scientifically reasonable way of generating conditional hypotheses about possible animal dispersal. This is an initial conceptual review only. I am not asking anyone to reproduce the model, inspect the complete workflow, process large datasets or verify every GIS operation. The task would involve: reading a short description of the model; examining a simple diagram and example output; discussing the approach with me for approximately one hour; advising on its validity, limitations and whether broader corridor analysis would strengthen it; providing a short written summary of your opinion. I am particularly interested in people with experience in ecological resistance surfaces, animal movement or dispersal modelling, landscape connectivity or least-cost corridor analysis. Please briefly describe your relevant experience and provide an example of comparable work. A generic knowledge of QGIS or ArcGIS alone will not be sufficient. This may lead to additional separately agreed work, but there is no expectation of involvement beyond this initial review.

Python Developer for UK Council Planning Portal Scraper

I run an architectural practice in the UK. We are looking for an experienced Python developer to build a robust internal tool (MVP) that automates our planning precedent research. The goal is to scrape planning application data from two UK council portals (Hillingdon and Three Rivers). Both councils use variations of the standard Idox Public Access system. The Required Workflow: Navigate & Search: The script needs to bypass standard cookie banners and menus, navigate the planning portal, and search for a specific Application Reference or Street Name. Data Extraction: Extract structured details (Reference, Address, Proposal Description, Decision Status, Decision Date). Smart Document Handling (Crucial): Navigate to the "Documents" tab (often inside an iframe) and do the following: Download: Physically download ONLY the "Officer's Report" and "Decision Notice" PDFs (bypassing the browser's PDF viewer). Link Only: For all other documents (especially Architectural Drawings and Plans), do NOT download them. Instead, extract the direct URL/link to the document. Database Integration: Push the structured data to our database (Airtable via API). Securely upload the downloaded Officer's Reports as file attachments, and paste the direct URLs for the drawings into a separate column. Crucial Technical Challenges (Please read before bidding): We have attempted a basic Playwright script but hit several anti-scraping and structural barriers. Your solution must cleanly handle: Nested Iframes: The document lists are contained within an idox-iframe. File Interception: Bypassing standard browser PDF rendering by pulling the raw file stream directly using session requests/cookies (to avoid Target closed exceptions). Session Management & Politeness: Handling potential rate limits or dynamic ID changes. The scraper must be programmed to run politely (rate-limited) to respect council server loads. Deliverables: Clean, documented Python code (using Playwright, Scrapy, or Requests/BeautifulSoup). API integration that pushes the structured data, uploads the specific PDFs, and saves the URLs to our Airtable base. Simple instructions for running the script locally or setting it up on a basic schedule (cron job/cloud function). Please answer the following in your bid: Have you successfully scraped UK Council Idox systems or similar public portals before? How will you prevent the browser's PDF viewer from intercepting the file download for the Officer's Reports? What is your estimated timeline and cost for this MVP?

Creating a Excel sheet to select time based data

In attachment you find 2 files: script of original recording.xlsx and used video.edl In script of original recording.xlsx the first colum "name" is not relevant and can be removed. Colum "Start time" and "End time" refer to the "time of day" timecode of the originale footage. This format is hour:minutes:seconds:frames. The frame can be deleted so the time data is easier to work with in Exel and is irrelevant. The same goes for the time data of the file used video.edl. The file used video.edl gives the time code of the used video in the final edit. In the file script of original recording.xlsx and used video.edl in colum "text" you find the spoken text of the recording. What I need is a Exel sheet of only the used text blocks with the original time of day time code. The file "edit script with worng time code.xlsx" is generated by Adobe premiere but the original time of day timecode is lost. The time info shown is of the new timeline, no use to me. So I sugest you create a Exel sheet with on page 1 I can paste the original script, on page 2 I paste the edl and on page 3 I find the used text blocks with the the original time of day code. Keep in mind that not all text blocks may be used complete. This is no problem if ther is some overspill.

Node.js Trading Backend Rebuild

I’m overhauling the core of an existing trading bot and need a backend specialist who lives and breathes Node.js. The goal is to replace the current, brittle codebase with a lean, event-driven service that can: • Ingest and process market data in real time without choking when traffic spikes. • Fire off automated trade instructions the instant a strategy signals, maintaining millisecond-level latency end-to-end. Because speed matters more than long-term storage, all transient state should sit in an in-memory database—Redis is my default, but I’m open to something equivalent if you can justify the performance gains. You’ll design the architecture, write clean, well-tested code, and wire up a solid CI/CD pipeline so updates roll out safely. Deliverables are: 1. Production-ready Node.js backend (TypeScript preferred) that exposes clear REST/WebSocket APIs for strategies and dashboards. 2. In-memory data layer for order books, positions, and pending orders. 3. Exchange adapter module that can be extended to new APIs with minimal friction. 4. Load-tested deployment scripts (Docker/Kubernetes) and documentation that lets me spin up a new instance in minutes. I’ll review against latency benchmarks, unit/integration test coverage, and clarity of docs before sign-off. If you thrive on low-latency systems and know how to squeeze every last microsecond out of Node.js, let’s talk code.

Repair Existing excel Business Workbook/ not a rebuild

I am looking for an experienced Microsoft Excel developer to assess and repair an existing business workbook called LIOS (LiquirigS Intelligent Operating System). This workbook has been developed over several years and is used daily to run key parts of my business. I am not looking for a new system or a complete rebuild. My objective is to repair and preserve the existing workbook wherever possible. The workbook appears to function correctly in most areas. However, I believe there is a fault within the sales import process, and I would like an experienced Excel specialist to inspect the workbook and provide an independent assessment. Before carrying out any work, I would like you to: * Inspect the workbook. * Explain whether it is repairable. * Identify the issues you find. * Recommend the best solution. * Provide a fixed-price quotation before making any changes. If the workbook can be repaired, I would like the existing functionality preserved wherever possible. Please include in your reply: * Your experience repairing large Excel workbooks. * Your experience with VBA, Power Query and advanced Excel formulas. * Whether you have repaired existing business systems rather than building new ones. * Your estimated number of hours for the work. The workbook will only be shared with shortlisted freelancers after an initial discussion due to the confidential nature of the business data. Please do not quote for a complete rebuild unless, after inspection, you can explain why the existing workbook cannot reasonably be repaired.
