It may be that he/they have significant competency in this domain, just not publically or under this name/pseudonym.

I’ve also developed software internal to companies that has never been released publicly.
In short … he doesn’t need to prove his prior credentials to you, me, or anyone. He may have some, he may not.
We can legitimately critique what he/they have done in this project all we like though.
