PostHog core engineer — 300+ commits to a 35k★ product

assessed from open-source footprint

Principal
82signal

Raúl's biggest signal is hiding in his contributions: he's a verified core engineer on PostHog, with 151 commits to posthog/posthog (34,770★) and 152 to posthog-foss (502★), plus 273 merged PRs overall. On his own time he builds playful systems projects like dino-gb (27★), a Game Boy port of Chrome's dino game in C. A strong backend/full-stack hire whose proven impact on a major analytics product far outweighs his modest personal star counts.
