As a need of hour, started working in this project to contribute little where I can. Since the Covid-19 pandemic disrupted our way of life, it has been difficult to sit on the sides and not do anything. With remote team of passionate tech professionals around the globe, and in support with COVID-19 Credentials Initiative we worked to develop an open source platform where user is in charge of their information. Used concepts like PKI and DID to develop an open source concept for covid tests and vaccinations, certificates and it's verification. Have a look at www.vaccify.pk and www.covidcreds.com/ to understand more about our concept. Worked for product development to effectively build the platform based on open standards.
