Building an identity-verification platform from zero through acquisition.
In high-risk field environments, knowing who is on site — and whether they're qualified to be there — was manual, slow, and easy to fake.
I founded Virtual Badge to fix that: an API-driven digital identity-verification platform for construction, energy, and industrial operators. As CEO and co-founder I owned product, go-to-market, and the team — from first line of code through the exit. The platform now operates as AccredTech under Verified First, serving enterprise clients across multiple industries.
