Married, Dad, and human to Milo the cat. Nerd at heart. Views my own. — Building @Affixio: privacy-first decision systems using PQC, ZKPs, post-quantum crypto, and trustless infra. Views are MINE!
UK's age verification mandates? More like privacy mandates for your personal data. We can do better than handing over IDs for every click. Let's build trust, not data traps.

Thinking about all those classic Hulk Hogan moments today. WrestleMania III against Andre the Giant? Pure magic. He just had that "it" factor, forever changing the game. A true legend who will never be forgotten. Whatcha gonna do, brother?

I read Rob Go's latest. He's got that secret sauce for navigating seed VC, doesn't he? Loved his thoughts on adapting and the AI upside - always good to see someone thinking ahead. t.co/K1smrFcURi

15 years ago, someone called me for a job in IT. Didn’t know what the job was
Guy asked me questions about tech. Answered them. He said: impressive.
Phone went silent, he laughed and said “you will never work In IT because of your qualifications” and hung up on me.

What I have built in a few months:
An async FastAPI app for identity verification, fetching data, applying rules, generating secure tokens (optionally post-quantum), and QR codes, all configured via JSON.
Lots more to add.

Ever heard of stateless tech? It's all about making systems super-fast and reliable by not holding onto your data between interactions. Think of it like a lightning-quick assistant who remembers nothing from your last chat but still gets the job done perfectly every time! Great for privacy

Thinking about how Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is building the future of secure data, even against quantum computers. Pretty wild stuff! #PQC #QuantumSafe
