Scouting report

Veteran polyglot architect behind the divengine toolset

assessed from open-source footprint

Principal

86signal

Coding since 1997, Rafa is the primary author of the open-source 'divengine' libraries (div at 29★) and a self-styled design-pattern thinker, with a deep Python/PHP/C# background spanning 9+ years on GitHub. His own repos carry few stars and low polish (30), and the eye-popping 31k commit / 29k PR figures look automation-inflated rather than headline contributions — his odoo/odoo touch is just 2 commits. Worth a look for backend architecture and patterns work, but verify the day-to-day delivery in an interview.
