Tech Stack
PythonFile System
Why I Built This
I had a dataset of unsorted photos that had been uplaoded onto various newsletters that were beign deprecated
I built a scraper to open each newsletter in the archive, store the images into a database and then download them to my local machine
Key Learnings
✓Python's file handling libraries make batch processing straightforward
✓Need to build this quickly since the system was being deprecated in 24 hours
✗Tried to implement a face recognition feature but it was not reliable enough so I removed it from the final version
