Today we celebrate Hennadii Stepanov's 4 year anniversary as a Bitcoin Core engineer at Brink 🎉
From a simple fixup because of an old laptop, to one of the most prolific contributors to Bitcoin Core today...

Whether that is the build system, operating system compatibility, the GUI, or language translations, hebasto’s efforts have been aimed at making Bitcoin secure, accessible, and user-friendly.
Hebasto led a project to migrate the build system to a modern, CMake-based one, enhancing efficiency and paving the way for future development. The migration to CMake took nearly 300 pull requests, a dozen people, and two years of review and testing.

Since his initial contribution, hebasto has 1800+ (!) commits to his name.
But it isn't just his own work...in the last year alone hebasto also provided nearly 1,700 review comments.

Brink and the Bitcoin community are lucky to have hebasto on our team.
Thank you for your open source #Bitcoin contributions, Hennadii 🚀
