Neil Emeigh is a contributor to Grit Daily. In 2013 he was starting his own data scraping enterprise when he found himself frustrated with the low quality of proxies on offer. He figured he could do better, and sure enough, his basement-based one-man proxy operation grew into Rayobyte SEO, the largest US-based proxy provider and a 2022 Proxyway Contender of the Year, recognized for its ethical approach and its high-quality data center proxies. Neil remains an expert in the field of proxies and scraping and loves sharing his passion for ethical data acquisition and usage in a world where these are too often seen as impossible to reconcile.
