I worked with them in the same company on the same team
I've worked with this developer on a project, where they were the technical builder. From day one, they came in with exactly the mindset you want in an early-stage builder: low ego, high output, and no hand-holding required.

This developer takes ownership in a way that's rare. They don't wait to be told what to do next. They identify the problem, figure out the path, and ship. The Stripe integration they built for the project is a good example.

Beyond the technical ability, they are genuinely good to work with. They communicate clearly, take feedback well, and make the people around them better. That combination is hard to find, especially at the pace early-stage companies move.

I'd work with this developer again without hesitation, and I'd back them in any environment where execution and ownership matter.
