Scouting report

iOS engineer — AccessControlKitty, a 139★ Xcode extension

assessed from open-source footprint

Staff
56signal

Zoë is the strongest individual builder in this batch: her Xcode Source Editor extension AccessControlKitty has 139★ (180★ across her repos), a polished, widely-used Swift developer tool, plus a sample Marker extension (19★). She's clearly on the Hotwire Native iOS radar but hasn't landed merged commits there yet, and her overall activity is quiet — 0 commits last year and high abandonment. A genuine senior iOS/Swift specialist whose published tool is proven; confirm current availability and momentum.
