I’m building Volleyhooks, a platform that helps engineering teams reliably consume third-party webhooks from services like Stripe, GitHub, and Shopify. Over the years, working on large-scale messaging and integration systems, I’ve seen how deceptively hard inbound webhooks are in production—missed events during deploys, inconsistent retries, silent failures, and painful reconciliation after the fact. Volleyhooks exists to solve that exact problem by providing a durable ingestion layer with retries, replay, rate limiting, and full observability, so teams don’t have to rebuild this infrastructure for every integration. I enjoy working on distributed systems, reliability problems, and turning hard operational lessons into simple, dependable products. Currently focused on talking to teams dealing with webhook reliability issues and learning from real production use cases. Always happy to connect with engineers, founders, and platform teams building integration-heavy systems.
