Redential
A developer credential that proves what you built
About Redential
Redential is an innovative developer credentialing tool designed to showcase genuine work without exposing proprietary code. By analyzing a developer’s git history locally, Redential creates an accurate profile of their contributions, skills, and projects—without relying on traditional, often inflated CVs. This approach offers a transparent and trustworthy way for developers to demonstrate their expertise, especially when their best work is under NDA. The open-source CLI allows users to generate and review their credentials securely, providing a live defense of their work during interviews or assessments. Redential aims to bridge the trust gap between developers and recruiters, emphasizing actual impact over self-reported skills.
