Scouting report

Algorithms-minded engineer — 51★ Pygame Sudoku visualizer

assessed from open-source footprint

Staff
76signal

Yariel's standout is Sudoku-GUI, a 51★ Pygame backtracking-algorithm visualizer (idea credited to TechWithTim) that carries most of his 61 total stars and an 81 impact score. The portfolio leans academic — UPRM data-structures labs — with very high abandonment (92%) and low consistency (30), so activity is bursty and course-driven. A strong CS-fundamentals junior with real algorithmic instincts, best for teams that can mentor toward production work.
