The Annual 16-Commit Offering
16 commits in the last year. That's roughly one commit every 23 days. Your GitHub heatmap looks like a starfield in a light-polluted city — technically there are stars, just not enough to matter.
73% Graveyard Rate
Nearly 3 out of every 4 of your public repos hasn't been touched in over 2 years. Your GitHub is less a portfolio and more an archaeological dig site.
License? Never Heard of Her
Zero licenses across all analyzed repos. Legally, nobody can use, copy, or distribute your code. Bold strategy for a PhD who presumably learned about intellectual property.
93% Python, 0% Tests
You wrote 93% of your public code in Python — a language practically begging you to add a test file — and somehow resisted the temptation entirely. Not one test, not one CI run.
Solo Operator Since 2017
soloPct = 100. Seven years on GitHub, 5 followers, 0 external PRs this year. The Columbia PhD bio is doing a lot of heavy lifting on the credibility front.

Tier thresholds
▸ How the pipeline works
- 01Scrape.Pull every non-fork repo pushed in the last 90 days, plus your contribution calendar, followers, and language byte counts — straight from GitHub's REST & GraphQL APIs.
- 02Triage.A small model reads every repo's file tree + README and picks the 20 files per repo that actually reveal how you code.
- 03Grade each repo. All repos run in parallel through a fast scoring model that reads the picked files and rates each one independently on Impact, Quality, and Depth — with evidence citations.
- 04Aggregate. A larger reasoning model combines the per-repo scores with server-computed stats (heatmap, commit cadence, language entropy, follower count) to produce the 6-dimension profile score + roasts.
- 05Correct.Deterministic server-side checks enforce anchor-scale floors (e.g. a profile with 2,000+ public commits can't score 30 Consistency) and recompute the final verdict.
~90 seconds per profile, ~$0.25 in compute. Total of ~240 files read across your top-12 repos. One rating per GitHub account per day.
▸ Data sources & caveats
- Heatmap & commit totals: GitHub GraphQL
contributionsCollection— covers the last 365 days, includes private repos when the user has opted in (default). - Language %: byte totals across the top 30 owned non-fork repos.
- Curve: a small upward nudge centered on raw score ≈ 70, capping at 100. Prevents specialists from being unfairly penalised for narrow breadth.
- Anchor corrections: when server-measured signals (e.g. privateWorkLikely, multiRepoVolume, follower count) mandate a minimum category score, the aggregation step enforces it. These are signal-conditional, not identity-based floors.
