Scouting report
Shipped ShadeOfColor2, a 722★ steganography tool
assessed from open-source footprint
Principal
84signal
Emilie's clear standout is ShadeOfColor2 (722★), a solo-authored cross-platform C# tool that hides files inside PNG images — a real, widely-starred security utility. Backed by an 11-year account, 89 original repos and 589 commits last year, this is a productive C#/PHP backend engineer with a security bent. The portfolio is broad and somewhat scattered (0.71 abandonment), but the flagship project is genuine.
