Two persona names on one set of accounts: portfolios under both Michael Liang and Joseph Jackson point at the same phoenixfeather0208 handle across GitHub, Telegram, Bluesky, Mastodon and Substack. Transcribed from the researcher's chart, which groups every account under the name it gives here and draws its links from mutual follows, shared contact details and repositories carrying one another's details. Accounts on platforms this site does not index, as the chart lists them: github.com/0phoenixfeather0208/resume, bsky.app/profile/phoenixfeather0208.bsky.social, substack.com/@phoenixfeather0208, mastodon.social/@phoenixfeather0208, forem.com/michael_liang_0208.

Found on 13 September 2026 by probing every account handle this site already holds for this operator against dev.to, and read from the profile's own public API. An account exists under michael_liang_0208, a login the index already carries for this persona on another platform. It gives a joined date of May 7, 2025. It displays "Michael Liang", a display name rather than a person's name. The profile links a GitHub account, phoenixfeather0208. The handle is what links this account to the rest; nothing here establishes that one person holds both, and a display name on a profile is a name the account presents, not an identification.
