Scouting report
Systems hacker living in C++/Rust/Nix — research-grade originality
assessed from open-source footprint
Sona is a deep systems and low-level tinkerer: 24 original repos weighted toward C++, Rust, C and Nix, with standout originality (89) and rock-steady consistency (92) over a 6-year account. The work is genuinely curious rather than commercial — e.g. 'costas', a research repo on Costas arrays and permutation matrices — so stars are tiny (max 2) and nothing is deployed. Best fit for a systems, compilers, or research-adjacent team that values raw fundamentals over polish.
