Scouting report

Interledger veteran — node-bignum & node-extend (760★+)

assessed from open-source footprint

Principal
78signal

Stefan is a distributed-systems veteran working on Interledger, with widely-depended-on npm packages including node-bignum (418★) and node-extend (343★), 1,036 total stars, 547 followers and 356 merged PRs over a 17-year career. The clear caveat is recency: only 7 commits in the last year and 95% of repos abandoned, so this is a deep, proven principal whose public activity has slowed. Excellent for a team that values pedigree and library-grade engineering judgment.
