Scouting report
Lua systems hacker & Playdate game author
assessed from open-source footprint
A low-level/systems specialist working mostly in Lua, C and Zig, whose BlockDate (136★), a Tetris-style game for the Playdate console, anchors a 193★ catalogue of dev tools and editor plugins. He's a consistent shipper (301 commits, 45 merged PRs last year, consistency 99) who has also landed patches in heavyweight projects like mawww/kakoune (10,905★). Strong pick for tooling, game engines, or anything close to the metal; lighter on polish and web work.
