Scouting report

Systems-curious Zig dev building a ray tracer from scratch

assessed from open-source footprint

Mid
49signal

Adrian is teaching himself low-level systems in Zig: zRTX is a ray tracer following 'Ray Tracing in One Weekend', backed by a steady 29 commits last year as primary author. It's tutorial-driven learning rather than original product work — no stars, no merged PRs, and a thin 4-repo footprint. A promising mid-level engineer with genuine appetite for hard, close-to-the-metal problems.
