Scouting report
Seasoned Ruby/Rails product builder, 16-year GitHub veteran
assessed from open-source footprint
Marc is a long-time (16.6 yrs) product-minded Ruby/Rails engineer with the highest polish score here (71) and 6 deployed projects; his most-starred work includes a `craigslist-ruby-crawler` (29★) and a `software-systems-architecture` reference collection (24★). Breadth spans Ruby, React, Django, and Laravel. Caveats are real: 0 commits last year, a 0.91 abandonment ratio, and a fork-heavy profile (0.76), so value him for product/architecture judgment and experience, not current OSS output.
