Dr. Ray Ng

Dr. Ray Ng, MD was born a polymath and entrepreneur: physician by day and avid technology entrepreneur, coder, and blockchain developer by night. MD with board certification and licensure in Canada and US. Ray now runs the COVID19 assessment site in Vancouver, Canada. In his most recent venture as co-founder at cybersecurity company Securable.io, Ray focused on assisting biotechnology, health informatics, and enterprise executives build and maintain strong security protocols while achieving the highest risk management levels. Securable.io was acquired in October 2017. After this sale, Ray returned to his roots on the West Coast of Canada to re-focus on his medical practice and study mindfulness, meditation, and other holistic forms of wellness that compliment his board certification in Integrative Medicine. Information on Verida Verida began as a research project in 2018, with the mission of helping people own and control their data. The team created architecture for decentralized control that could be used with traditional database technologies. The project evolved and an open source library was released that enabled any decentralized application to be built where users could own, control, and store their data using public encryption keys. Verida Vault was then launched with the goal of developing different web and mobile applications.
