Scouting report

ANTLR/parser veteran — 182 PRs merged, deep grammar work

assessed from open-source footprint

Principal
52signal

Jim's standout signal is volume of merged work: 182 pull requests merged plus 39 commits last year, concentrated in ANTLR4 grammar and parser tooling (tsqlparser, antlrgotest). His own repos are low-star but technically serious — TSQL grammars and Go runtime test rigs aimed at compiler/language internals. A real fit for backend or developer-tooling teams needing parser, DSL, or database-grammar depth.
