Virtual Badge
API-driven digital identity verification platform for construction, energy, and industrial sectors.
Project Overview
As CEO and Co-Founder of Virtual Badge, I led the development of an API-driven digital identity verification platform tailored for the construction, energy, and industrial sectors. This innovative platform streamlines identity verification processes, enhances security, and ensures compliance with industry regulations.
The Virtual Badge platform addresses critical challenges in identity management by providing a secure and efficient solution for verifying the credentials and qualifications of workers in high-risk environments. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and industry best practices, Virtual Badge helps organizations mitigate risks, improve operational efficiency, and maintain a safe working environment.
The success of Virtual Badge led to its acquisition by Verified First, a leading background screening company, where the platform was rebranded and continues to operate as AccredTech, serving enterprise clients across multiple industries.
