I am seeking an experienced developer to inspect and preserve an existing Python-based sports data pipeline hosted on a Windows VPS. The system includes scheduled tasks for MLB and NFL game slates and odds, which are currently non-functional. Your task will be to: 1. Inspect the existing codebase, scheduled tasks, files, and logs without making changes. 2. Provide a written report detailing: - What is currently installed and operational. - What has stopped functioning and why. - Who currently has access to the VPS, scheduled tasks, Google Sheets, and data provider credentials. Identify any access or settings that could allow the previous developer to stop or change the refresh again. - A fixed-price quote for repairs needed to restore functionality, ensuring the total cost (assessment + repair) does not exceed $275 USD. Upon approval of your repair quote, you will proceed with: 3. Restoring the MLB and NFL game slates and odds refreshes so they run unattended via scheduled tasks on the VPS. The refreshed data must populate the correct Google Sheets workbooks with current game slates and accurate odds. 4. Delivering all updated code, setup instructions, run logs, workbook results, and documentation necessary for me to verify delivery independently. 5. Including a plan to move the working setup under accounts I control (e.g., VPS, Google Sheets, data provider credentials) while removing the previous developer’s access without breaking the refresh.

The Windows VPS’s scheduled MLB/NFL tasks, logs, and Google Sheets write path are where I’ll begin—read-only, with no changes—so I can identify exactly what stopped the slate and odds refreshes. I’ll inspect the Python code, Windows Task Scheduler, installed dependencies, file locations, provider configuration, workbook targets, and execution history. The report will document what works, the failure causes, current access/credential exposure, and risks that could let the previous developer alter or stop refreshes. After approval, I’ll restore unattended MLB and NFL updates, verify current slates and odds in the correct workbooks, and provide code, setup notes, run logs, results, and a safe migration plan into accounts you control. Delivery is within 3 days of receiving access and repair approval. Can you confirm that you can provide administrator access to the Windows VPS and read access to the affected Google Sheets workbooks? Muhammad Saad

Hi, I've done Windows VPS maintenance and Python pipeline work, including restoring scheduled tasks and cleaning up server access after a previous developer. On a recent job I built a deterministic ingestion pipeline with a secure CI setup, so unattended refreshes that write to the right destination reliably is familiar ground. SecureCI: proof of secure ingestion work One thing I'd confirm first: is the odds break coming from the data provider side (expired API key, changed endpoint, rate limits) or from the Windows Task Scheduler tasks failing to run under the right account? The report should separate those cleanly, plus a full access map of who can touch the VPS, Sheets, and provider creds. I'd start with the read-only inspection under a milestone, then quote the repair. Can you share how the data reaches the Google Sheets now, an API or a scraper? Adil

Hello!, I am a US-based senior software engineer and I’d be a strong fit to inspect, preserve, and restore your Python sports data refresh setup without breaking what already works. This kind of project usually goes wrong when someone rushes into changes. My approach is simple and careful: 1. Audit the current MLB/NFL refresh flow, dependencies, and data sources 2. Find exactly what is broken and what must be preserved 3. Fix the refresh logic, verify the pipeline end to end, and add safeguards so it stays stable I pay close attention to the details that matter here: existing code structure, data integrity, refresh timing, and how the Python app connects with PHP, Django, and MySQL if those pieces are part of the stack. My goal is to get your current system working cleanly again, not just patch it blindly. Relevant work includes: - Sports stats dashboard with scheduled Python refresh jobs - Django + MySQL data ingestion pipeline - Legacy Python maintenance and API repair - PHP and Python integration for a data-heavy admin system Could you please clarify the following questions to help me better understand the project? 1. Which MLB/NFL refreshes are failing, and what should the expected output be? 2. Do you want the current codebase preserved as-is, or is a small refactor acceptable? 3.

Hi, I can start with a read-only audit of the Python codebase, Windows Task Scheduler, logs, configuration, Google Sheets integration and data-provider credentials, documenting exactly what is installed, what has stopped working and the likely root causes before making any changes. After approval, I can restore the MLB/NFL slate and odds refreshes, verify unattended scheduled execution and Google Sheets output, then provide the updated code, logs, setup documentation and an access-transition plan so the working system is fully under your control. I’ll also make sure credentials and scheduled tasks are not dependent on the previous developer’s accounts or settings. Questione 1: Can you provide read-only VPS access, the current Python project, Task Scheduler details, logs and Google Sheets/data-provider configuration for the initial audit? Questione 2: Which MLB/NFL data and odds providers are currently connected, and are their API credentials already transferable to accounts you control? Regards, Houssame

The real problem here isn’t just “fixing a script” — it’s that your MLB/NFL refreshes broke and you don’t fully trust or understand the current setup, including who can still interfere with it. I’ve worked on Python-based automation pipelines on VPS environments, integrating APIs and Google Sheets, where the first step is a forensic-style audit: tasks, logs, credentials, and failure points, then a clean repair with clear ownership and documentation. My approach: - Read-only review of code, Windows scheduled tasks, logs and Sheets connections. - Written report of what runs, what’s broken, and where the previous developer still has access. - Fixed-price repair plan within your budget, then restore unattended refreshes for MLB/NFL slates and odds into the correct Sheets, plus a migration plan to accounts you fully control. Key risk: hidden credentials or external services tied to the previous developer. I’d identify and replace them systematically. Questions: • Which data provider(s) are you using for odds and slates? • Do you have current access to all Google accounts and VPS admin? • Are there any manual steps you still perform around these refreshes? If this matches what you need, I can start with the assessment and report. Juan Pablo

I got you! I can inspect your Windows VPS Python sports data pipeline safely, document the MLB/NFL scheduled-task failures, access risks, Google Sheets/API credential dependencies, and provide a fixed repair quote within your $275 total cap. I’m ready to handle the audit-first approach without touching production until approved. I’m young, a fast learner, available 24/7, and I’ll make the handover clear enough for independent verification. Get the demo first before you pay. A couple of quick questions: Do you already have admin access to the Windows VPS and the Google Sheets/API provider accounts, or should the audit identify missing ownership gaps first? Also, are the scheduled tasks failing silently, or do you see Python/log/API authentication errors? Let’s chat and discuss the answers so I can begin with the inspection report. Kind regards, Haroon Z

Hi there You want eyes on the pipeline first, no random edits, then a clear report on what still works, what broke, and who can still mess with the VPS, tasks, Sheets, or provider logins. That makes sense for MLB and NFL slates and odds that stopped updating. I have done Python jobs on Windows VPS with scheduled tasks, logs, and Google Sheets as the output layer. On Freelancer I built a football betting platform with odds and slate style data flows, and Python data engineering for a Brisbane client normalizing feeds into downstream systems. For phase one I would walk the codebase, task scheduler, env files, and recent logs, then write up install state, failure points with likely cause, access audit, and a fixed repair quote so assessment plus fix stays within your $275 cap. After you approve, I restore unattended refreshes into the right workbooks, deliver updated code, run logs, verify sheets, and a handoff plan to move VPS, Sheets, and provider creds under you while cutting old dev access without killing the jobs. I can start at your posted minimum for the assessment window and keep comms tight so you can verify delivery on your own.
