As a freelance developer, I’ve faced the same challenge over and over again when introducing myself to new clients—my professional background is scattered across multiple platforms. My reviews and work history live on Upwork, Fiverr, LinkedIn, GitHub, and sometimes in private messages. While these platforms are great individually, collectively, they make it hard to present a cohesive picture to potential clients.

When someone asks me to share my experience, I typically end up linking just my LinkedIn and GitHub profiles. While these do give a snapshot of who I am, they don’t tell the full story. My Upwork reviews highlight the quality of work I’ve done over the years, Fiverr ratings reflect my promptness and client satisfaction, and GitHub showcases my technical skills, but none of these platforms give a holistic view of my career. Worse, it’s tedious to share multiple links with every new client.

I knew I needed a better solution—something that would bring all my professional profiles and feedback into one place, streamlining the process of introducing myself.

KwaziConnect: One Link to Showcase It All

That’s when the idea for KwaziConnect was born. I initially built it as a personal tool, a platform where I could consolidate everything—my reviews, ratings, projects, and important links. With KwaziConnect, I can now share a single link with anyone who needs to know about me.

It lets me:

• Link all my professional profiles like GitHub, LinkedIn, Upwork, Fiverr, and more.
• Showcase my previous work in a clean, organized portfolio.
• Easily request and collect reviews from clients, which are critical for future projects.
• Maintain a professional bio that gives a comprehensive view of my skills and experience.

But as I showed this to my friends, many of them expressed interest in having a similar platform for themselves. This got me thinking: why not make this platform available for everyone? After all, many freelancers and professionals face the same issue of fragmented portfolios and reviews.

Making KwaziConnect Public and Free for Everyone

What started as a solution for me has evolved into something for all of us. I’ve now made KwaziConnect free for anyone who wants to use it. Whether you’re a freelancer, consultant, designer, or developer, you can set up your own online portfolio and centralize all your professional information in one place.

Now, instead of sending five or six links to new clients, you can share just one. Clients can see your reviews, ratings, past work, and bio, all in one place. It simplifies the process for both freelancers and clients, making it easier to land jobs or gigs.

If you’re ready to consolidate your professional presence and make it easier for clients to see the real you, you can get started for free at KwaziConnect.

The Immediate Impact

I launched the platform yesterday, and within the first 24 hours, I was amazed to see that 51 users had already set up their profiles. It’s exciting to see how a simple idea can help others. Knowing that KwaziConnect can help someone land their next client or job gives me immense satisfaction, and I can’t wait to see how it grows.

If you’re someone who struggles with showcasing all the facets of your professional background, I encourage you to give KwaziConnect a try. It’s not just a portfolio builder; it’s a tool that brings your entire professional journey under one roof, making it easier to share with the world.
