Scouting report

Yelp SRE — 31 real commits to paasta (1,725★)

assessed from open-source footprint

Staff
69signal

Dave's strongest signal is verified production impact: as an SRE at Yelp he landed 31 commits to Yelp/paasta (1,725★) and 12 to paasta-tools-go, plus 61 merged PRs overall — real infrastructure work on a major platform. His own repos are practical too, notably `luci-app-nauta` (22★), an OpenWRT/LuCI tool keeping ETECSA connections alive in Cuba. Self-described 'lots of projects, nothing finished' (high abandonment), but the proven SRE/DevOps track record on a large codebase is the real value.
