References.
Who can speak to what, and what to ask them. Names and contact details on request — I don’t publish colleagues’ details on a page that gets crawled.
Ask and I’ll make the introduction.
I keep three current references and will share names, titles and contact details once a conversation is underway — with their permission each time, not as a standing list. If you need them earlier in your process than that, just say so.

Brian Berndtson · Project Manager, Alphaledger
Managing Joe across several products at Alpha Ledger Technologies gave me a front-row seat to his professionalism, adaptability, and technical ability. Regardless of the project or challenge, Joe quickly learned the business domain, became productive faster than expected, and consistently delivered high-quality work.linkedin.com/in/bberndtson

I had the pleasure of working alongside Joseph at AlphaLedger, and I can confidently say he’s one of the hardest working engineers I’ve met. He’s constantly investing time into improving his skills, whether that’s learning new technologies, deepening his understanding of existing ones, or practicing outside of work to become a better developer. That dedication shows in the quality of his work and how quickly he’s able to contribute to new projects.linkedin.com/in/zachspriggs

Anything colleagues have written publicly lives on my LinkedIn, attributed to real people with real titles. That’s the version worth trusting.

What I’d ask instead
References mostly confirm what you already suspect. If you want a faster read, give me a real problem from your codebase and let me talk through how I’d approach it. That tells you more in twenty minutes than three calls will.
