Meshack M
Software Engineer, Kenya
Am a Solidity and Web3.js engineer based in Nairobi, Kenya working with Syndicate.io for over a year now. LD not only connects global companies with global talent, but also helps them in deciding which talent best suits them. LD's free 5 hour trial has helped companies pick the best talent and this has been a win-win for both the engineer and the company looking for talent. With the shift to remote work, LD is playing a very vital role in reducing the time required for talent acquisition. All engineers on the platform are vetted to make sure they possess problem solving, decision making and technological skills required for their area of expertise. Thank you LD for connecting me with my employer.

Paul S
Software Engineer, Uganda
LD has given me a platform to show my engineering skills to the global community. The administration responds to any queries I have, which makes me focus more on the client’s work instead of worrying about other issues. I have learned to work independently at a high velocity and manage client expectations to produce quality work because of the way LD is structured. It is fun working with LD. Thank you.

I have been part of the LD community for a little over 2 years now. Starting out with a simple passion project in machine learning, the platform afforded me the opportunity to work with many amazing startups and clients which have truly shaped my professional outlook, made me a better engineer, and improved my management skills all along. For me personally, what sets apart LD from any other similar service is the high quality of projects and teams a growing professional gets to work with. I am proud of my association and place within this community. Moreover, I am really happy to see all my fellow engineers and the community grow with great client feedback.
