Can you sponsor them?
Probably. Bio says 'business inquiries'.

Ask them directly 254,917 followers x $10 per 1,000 followers as a rule of thumb (Sprout Social, 30 May 2024). Benchmark: Sprout Social, Influencer pricing ↗. This is our arithmetic on a published benchmark, not a quote from the creator.
What we checked
20 checks, 16 passed
| ✓ | Metrics came from the platform | Every audience figure here is a value Instagram's own API returned, never estimated or inferred. The price estimate is the one number we work out ourselves, and it is labelled and shows its arithmetic. | not published |
| ✓ | Enough recent posts to judge | 6 recent posts sampled (target 6). | not published |
| ✓ | Average plays ≥ 20,000 | 210,509 average plays, median 148,862, across 6 posts. | required |
| ✓ | Typical post also clears 20,000 | Median plays 148,862 and outlier-trimmed mean 162,991 both clear the floor. A sponsored post should land in that range. | integrity |
| ✓ | Tech / dev / software engineering | Instagram gives little to judge on, since captions there are short, but this is the same person as their YouTube and GitHub, which is unambiguously a dev account. Topic confirmed from the creator's wider body of work, via a profile link they published themselves. | required |
| ✓ | Not a gaming channel | No gaming signal in the text. Instagram publishes no content category, so this is a text judgement. | required |
| ✓ | Not a hardware / gear channel | No hardware/gear pattern. | preference |
| ✓ | Target region (US / UK / EU / AU / NZ / SG) | Canada (CA), from two of this creator's own profiles, which agree. | required |
| ✓ | Like rate ≥ 1% of plays | 2.70% like rate, 0.082% comment rate, averaged per post. | integrity |
| ✓ | Average is not one viral outlier (Instagram limit 16×) | Top post is 4.0× the median, within the normal spread for Instagram, so the average reflects repeatable performance. | integrity |
| ✓ | Comment volume matches the view counts | Median 83 comments against 5,207 median likes: a normal ratio. | integrity |
| ✓ | plays plausible for the followers count | 210,509 average plays against 254,917 followers (83%). | integrity |
| ✓ | Posted recently | Last post 5 day(s) ago. | preference |
| ✓ | Publishes on a regular schedule | Median 4.1 day(s) between posts; the 6 sampled posts span 187 days. | preference |
| ✓ | Sampled posts are recent enough to compare | The 6 sampled posts span 187 days, close enough together that their plays counts are comparable. | integrity |
| – | Same numbers from two endpoints of the same API | No post from this account appeared in both the search index and the profile feed, so there was nothing to cross-check. | not published |
| – | Verified against the platform's own published feed | Instagram publishes no independent public feed to check the API's numbers against. YouTube is the only platform here where that second source exists. | not published |
| ✓ | An independent creator, not a company's own channel | Nothing marks this as a company-run channel: it is not a known company account, the name carries no corporate designation, and the bio is not written in a company's voice. | required |
| – | Same person confirmed on other platforms | No other public profile was linked from this account, so this record covers one platform only. | not published |
| – | Runs paid promotions (platform-declared) | Sponsorships shown for this creator are parsed from the text of their own post descriptions, so they are suspected rather than platform-confirmed. | not published |
