Go/backend dev & is-a-dev maintainer; finishes work

assessed from open-source footprint

Senior
86signal

Melissa is a Go and backend-leaning developer with excellent discipline (411 commits last year, consistency 100, just 8% abandonment) who ships focused tools like a pixel-art avatar API (9★) and pxsor, a pixelated Linux cursor theme. She's a real contributor to popular open source — 53 commits to a pixel-icons project and patches to is-a-dev/register (10,382★). The catalogue is small (12 repos) and stars are modest, but the finish rate and backend focus make her a solid mid-level pick.
