About Me

• Software developer focused on Python projects and tooling.
• This repository contains a collection of utility scripts for automation, data analysis, and system administration.
• For full professional details see the LinkedIn profile above.

Scripts Overview

Automation & System Administration

• RecycleWebLogicServer.py: A robust script to manage WebLogic server instances (start, stop, restart, suspend, resume) via SSH, with parallel execution support.
• getWeblogicServerStatus.py: Retrieves the runtime status of WebLogic servers and clusters using WLST (WebLogic Scripting Tool) logic.
• svn_compare_f5.py: Compares F5 iRules deployed on a BigIP device against versions stored in an SVN repository to identify discrepancies.
• Backup_SFCC_S3.py: Automates backups or data transfers related to Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC) and AWS S3.
• f5_node_health.py: Checks and reports on the health status of nodes within an F5 load balancer environment.

Data Analysis & Reporting

• NYSE Trending Report.py: Generates a high-performance dividend report for S&P 500, 400, and 600 stocks. Uses Yahoo Finance's bulk quote API for speed and exports reports as HTML/PDF.
• yt_channel_compare.py: Tracks and compares YouTube channel view counts over time. Recently upgraded to use Plotly for modern, interactive visualizations.
  • Generates interactive HTML reports, as well as shareable PNG and PDF exports.
  • Features intelligent legend management (Top N channels) to ensure clarity in large datasets.
  • Supports standalone plot generation without re-fetching data via the --plot switch.
• rotten_tomato_user_reviews.py: Scrapes user reviews from Rotten Tomatoes for movies or TV shows, performs sentiment analysis (rating average), and generates word clouds.
• Git_Log_Report.py: Analyzes a Git repository's history to generate reports on commit activity, authors, and file changes.
• Corona_Mapping.py: Visualizes COVID-19 data, likely creating choropleth maps (e.g., covid_choropleth_*.html) to show spread or impact by region.

Market Monitoring & Hobby Projects

• mtg-dip-detector.py: Tracks the market value of Magic: The Gathering cards to detect price retracements, particularly useful for monitoring Reserved List assets.
• mtg_scanner_tool.py: A custom market data scanner designed to aid in evaluating collection values and optimizing deck builds for the Commander format (such as Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer). It now supports caching for faster subsequent runs and uses an external excluded_cards.txt file for easy management of cards to ignore.

Miscellaneous

• lastgitcommit.py: A utility to retrieve details about the most recent Git commit.
• contact_bot/: A directory containing a bot implementation, possibly for automated messaging or interaction (e.g., Facebook Messenger).
