The Partner

The platform enables businesses to give their customers personalized, shoppable Influencer Storefronts, transforming them into brand ambassadors.

The Challenge
As a fast-moving and innovative company, LoudCrowd needed a software engineer who could quickly adapt to challenges and deliver solutions in a dynamic environment.
The Howdy Solution
Howdy connected LoudCrowd with Andy, a senior software developer from LATAM. After assessing the company’s unique needs and culture, Howdy identified Andy as the perfect match and supported him throughout the hiring and onboarding process.
​
Andy exceeded all expectations.
​
"Andy jumped in and he’s been flying through onboarding," said Josh Garrisi, Director of Engineering at LoudCrowd. "He had his coding environment up and running within half a day — which is a new record for us — and he had his first code in production on day two."
The collaboration has been just as rewarding for Howdy engineers, who feel valued and supported by OJO.
"I was continually acknowledged, encouraged and recognized, which boosted my confidence in my ability to make things happen," said Pablo A., Senior Software Developer at Howdy. "The exceptional leadership of Qingqing was one of the standout parts of my time there. Her support and encouragement were crucial for my personal and professional growth."
The Outcome
Andy has seamlessly become a core member of the LoudCrowd team, continuing to impress with his performance.
​
"Andy is his usual amazing self, knocking one piece of work after another," Josh added. "I can hardly keep up with him to make sure he has enough of a roadmap."
The Experience of the Howdy Team
Andy shares his positive experience working with the LoudCrowd team.
​
"Since my first day at LoudCrowd, I’ve felt like a valued team member," Andy said. "The thorough onboarding process helped me to integrate quickly and become productive. I appreciate that my work at LoudCrowd is enjoyable and challenging, providing opportunities for personal and professional growth."
