Skilltracker

Vision

A SaaS platform for real-time skill tracking, validation, and growth. Transform how developers, teams, and organizations manage competencies with live dashboards, API integrations, and practical evidence.

Why?

Traditional CVs and skill checklists are obsolete. Skilltracker validates real skills using automation, project evidence, and peer review — driving real progress, not just assumptions.
