Book formatting and KDP publishing

Self-Employed / Freelance • Freelance

Jun 2023 - Present • 3 yrs 4 mos

I prepare books for Amazon KDP and other self-publishing platforms. - Print-ready PDF for paperback and hardcover: correct trim size, margins, gutter, bleed and embedded fonts. - Kindle EPUB with a working table of contents, clean styles and images, validated with epubcheck before delivery. - Covers checked against the KDP cover calculator for the exact page count and paper type. - A+ content pages and book descriptions formatted for Amazon. - Low-content and activity books built from templates, so a series of titles stays consistent. Files are delivered ready to upload, with a checklist of the KDP settings to choose.

Procurement and sourcing, premium brands

I source and buy premium branded power tools, hand tools and high-end kitchen appliances for resale on Shopify and Amazon. - Direct work with authorized distributors and brand representatives in Europe: account opening, dealer price lists, trade terms and allocation of limited models. - Negotiating purchase prices, volume discounts, payment terms, minimum order quantities and delivery schedules. - Checking every supplier for brand authorization, so products sold as new carry the full manufacturer's warranty. - Landed cost and margin calculations covering freight, customs, VAT, platform fees and returns before any order is placed. - Seasonal buying plans built on sales data, so stock is in the warehouse before peak demand. - Inspection on arrival, damage claims with carriers and suppliers, and returns handled by the rules of each marketplace. Buyers in this segment expect original products, a valid warranty and careful packaging. I apply the same standard to every order and every client project.

Python and API developer

I write the code behind the automations: Python first, JavaScript where the platform needs it. - REST API integrations with marketplaces, print providers, payment and email services, including OAuth, pagination and rate limits. - Web scraping and browser automation for market research: prices, reviews, rankings and listing data collected into CSV, Google Sheets or a database. - A Python pipeline that prepares product listings end to end (files, titles, tags, SEO checks), with a manual review step before anything is published. - A static catalog website generated from the same product data and rebuilt automatically. - Backend and API for a mobile app, deployed in the cloud with monitoring. - Docker, Linux servers, systemd timers, Git. I keep code readable and documented, so another developer can pick it up later.
