I will clean, deduplicate and validate your messy data
About this Gig
Messy data is not just untidy. It produces wrong answers with total confidence. I fix that.
WHAT I DO
Remove exact and near-duplicate records
Standardise names, addresses, phone numbers, emails and dates into one consistent format
Fix encoding problems, stray whitespace and inconsistent capitalisation
Flag missing, impossible or contradictory values rather than quietly guessing
Merge multiple files into one clean dataset
WHAT YOU GET BACK
A cleaned file, and a report of exactly what was changed and why. I do not silently alter your data. Anything ambiguous gets flagged for you to decide, and you keep the original untouched alongside the cleaned version.
WHY ME
MSc in Data Science and AI, and this is genuinely the part of the work I enjoy. On a recent open-source project I processed over 90,000 records with documented quality filters and an automated integrity check that aborts the pipeline rather than let a bad row through. Same standard here, whatever the size.
Excel, CSV, Google Sheets, JSON or a database export all work. Your files are never shared or reused, and I delete them on request after delivery.
Send a sample first and I will tell you what can be fixed.
