Zach Bruggeman, Principal engineer; founding engineer of Inspect. Built the tool Bruggeman writes about, so Bruggeman knows how it is used; Bruggeman is also an employee describing the company's own tool.
How this was checked
Checked against the source by a first reader, then confirmed independently by a second reader who fetched the source without seeing the first reader's notes (Independent review agent (Claude Sonnet), blind second pass from passage text and citation only, no repository access, 2026-10-31).
The page is client-rendered, so I matched against the site's JS bundle (https://builders.ramp.com/assets/index-VvIg-Ti0.js) that holds the article text. It reads '~30% of all pull requests merged to our frontend and backend repos are written by Inspect.' The post's author meta lists Zach Bruggeman, Jason Quense and Rahul Sengottuvelu.
