Winners — spotlighting young developers building open-source projects that champion privacy and push the web in a better direction.
Huge congratulations to our Developer Awards winners.
Grand Prize Winner
Over the past year, we had the chance to watch Sancho consistently build and share thoughtful side projects here on LinkedIn. What stands out isn’t just the quality of the work — it’s the intention behind it.
He’s been awarded $1,000 USD cash to put directly into his projects and the communities he’s building.
Well deserved. The consistency, the courage to build in public, and the commitment to privacy-first development truly paid off.
Runner-Up
We deeply admire your drive to better understand software, your ability to bridge the gap between development and DevOps, and your commitment to building solutions that are not only privacy-first, but truly purpose-built.
Your willingness to learn in public and your focus on creating robust, resilient systems even when the design challenges become complex embody exactly what the Developer Awards are meant to celebrate.
We spotlight projects that champion user privacy and data protection — work that aligns with our mission of building a more private web.
These awards are for emerging developers aged 13–35 who are building in public and moving the web in a better direction.
Projects should be open source and publicly accessible — transparency and community-driven development matter.
