Scouting report

Puerto Rican Python dev shipping civic-tech for Foundation for Puerto Rico

assessed from open-source footprint

Mid
49signal

A Puerto Rico-based developer whose strongest signal is real external contribution: 103 commits last year across Foundation for Puerto Rico repos — 15 to corpus-rag, 13 to FPR-Marketplace, 11 to fpr-censo-mcp — genuine authored work on civic and RAG/MCP tooling. His own repos extend the public-good theme: a Claude Code skill pack for social-policy research and mapa-vih-pr, an interactive map of HIV service providers. Low star counts, but the authorship evidence here is among the most credible in the batch.
