If I understand correctly, this one person and a small team of volunteers (?) built not only the core operating system from scratch but also the user interface and also apps like the browser? How is that possible? I would think this type of thing needs hundreds of engineers.

There's lots of other things like its Hack Studio IDE [1], GML GUI Markup language and GML Playground [2], an x86 User Space Emulator [3]. I highly recommend checking out his YouTube channel [4] where he records doing a lot of this stuff in real-time. Also pretty amazing that most of this was done on the side after this full-time job, up until a few months ago where he's been able to quit to focus full-time on SerenityOS from GitHub Sponsorships [5].
