A shopper reaches a product with an age limit, logs in with MitID, and the shop gets its answer: old enough.

I've been its CTO since the first commit in August 2024, and I built the platform the company runs on.

VerifyID was named Identity Week Europe Start-up of the Year 2026.

What I built

The platform, as builtshops, platform, eIDs
Age checks for webshops
The WordPress and WooCommerce plugins, the Shopify app with the check inside Shopify checkout, the PrestaShop module, and the Wix app and Magento module. A shop can protect one product, a category or the whole store, and let shoppers from outside Denmark through where it allows that.
eIDs
MitID through a certified broker, with age only and full identity flows, and BankID for Sweden and Norway.
The merchant platform
Sign up and onboarding with company lookup, domains, verification records and exports, the compliance certificates a shop can send to the authorities, a partner panel for resellers, sign up flows for payment partners like Quickpay, and the admin back office.
The new merchant dashboard
In 2026 I rebuilt the merchant dashboard in React and brought the whole platform, emails included, to Danish, English, Swedish and Norwegian.
Billing
The billing behind VerifyID's products: subscriptions, usage billing, annual plans, a free plan, discount codes and a billing center.
Developers
A REST API, a MitID API and the developer docs at docs.verifyid.dk.
More than age checks
TaxBridge for DAC7 reporting, the KYC flows and the new verifyid.dk website. I also worked on IDPoint and prototyped the smart lock behind MitID Lås, both described below. I built CreditID too, an MitID based credit check for B2B webshops, in 2025. It didn't launch.
Running it
I run the technology day to day: hosting, deployments, staged rollouts, tests and fixes.
