The port is here: https://github.com/alexkid77/openlara_esp32p4
and the author's name is Alejandro Villegas Alonso.

But because he posted a video of his project on YouTube, PCGamer reduces him to the name of the platform he posted on: "YouTuber."

The author of this article will henceforth be referred to as "PCGamerer."

hardware creator Alejandro Villegas Alonso shared a clip of classic Tomb Raider running from a low-power chip

He’s fully credited in the article text. Perfectly normal to not give a full name in a title unless they’re a well known public figure (and even then it’s often shortened to one name if possible).

Yeah but YouTuber is a weird way to describe someone just because that’s where you saw their project. His account has 200 subscribers. He could equally be referred to as a GitHubber or Linkediner.

Personally i would have just said “engineer” or “programmer.”
