Scouting report

Puerto Rican backend developer writing Java CPU and console emulators

assessed from open-source footprint

Mid

45signal

Hector is a Java backend developer with a clear taste for low-level systems work. All four repos are original and the standouts are emulators: J13Z80, a Zilog Z80 emulator targeting TI-8x calculators, and J13TOY1, an emulator for the textbook TOY1 architecture, together drawing a handful of stars. The projects are hobby-grade and currently dormant (abandoned ratio of 1), but they show real, self-authored systems-programming ability.
