Summary
Victor Grey is a veteran full-stack developer and technology leader with 25+ years focused on digital identity and distributed information systems, currently co-founder and CTO at JLINC Labs. He builds practical, standards-driven solutions for consent and permissioned data exchange—turning a decade of user-centric identity research into a protocol-grade "consent management layer" used by partners like Tru.net. Victor also serves as CTO at Planetwork, applying information technology to social and ecological causes, and his work traces back to one of the earliest social networks (Friendly Favors/Living Directory) launched in 1999. An early contributor to Identity Commons and OASIS XRI efforts, he co-wrote the first XRI parser and helped demonstrate XRI/XDI through the 2idi i-name service. Known for bridging research, open standards, and product engineering, he combines deep protocol expertise with a long history of shipping social and identity systems. Based in Virginia Beach, he brings a rare institutional memory of the Web’s identity evolution paired with ongoing startup-stage execution.
