Andy

Solo founder building ParheliaWeb (parheliaweb.com) from the Netherlands. I got tired of maintaining brittle web scrapers and using black-box email validation tools, so I built my own.

Currently shipping transparent, developer-first REST APIs for:
• Real-time email validation (actual SMTP probing, catch-all detection, transparent risk scoring)
• AI-verified startup funding data (clean JSON, no messy spreadsheets)

I write about the hidden complexities of email deliverability, data infrastructure, and the solo founder journey. Always happy to chat about Python, APIs, or building in public.
