Aethralink is evolving from a weekend experiment into a resilient verification system for the decentralized web. This update explores the latest progress in hybrid cryptography, verifiable credentials, and AI-assisted behavior-driven development. The project is focused on creating a verifiable shortlink, one that can prove its origin, authorship, and integrity without relying on trust. This post reflects on the architecture, philosophy, and steady progress behind building software designed for accountability. The next milestone includes integrating Web3 domain validation to connect verifiable links directly with decentralized identities. Continue reading Aethralink: The Future of Verifiable Shortlinks

The Aethralink project reaches a defining milestone. Six verifiable DID scenarios are now complete under Behavior-Driven Development using Godog, with the DID Management module 46% complete. This marks a major step toward secure, decentralized identity verification in a post-quantum world. Continue reading Weekend Lab: DID Management Complete

Aethralink marks the beginning of our new Weekend Lab series, where ideas become working prototypes. This first project explores how verifiable shortlinks can rebuild trust on the web using decentralized identity, verifiable credentials, and cryptographic proof of authorship.

Adopting Gherkin and Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) in the AI-driven software lifecycle transforms how we write, test, and deliver code. By turning requirements into living documentation, teams achieve higher quality, faster delivery, and clearer collaboration between humans and machines. This essay explores why structured requirements are the key to building reliable AI-powered systems and calls on developers to join the movement. Continue reading AI, Gherkin, and the Future of Software Development: Why Behavior-Driven Development Matters

I’ve seen every wave of computing, from cassette tapes to AI. The fastest wave yet is also the riskiest, unless we fix the missing piece: context. Here’s how orchestration turns AI from chaos into a foundation you can trust. Continue reading Riding the Waves: From Home Computers to AI Orchestration

Governments want to control identity and corporations want to monetise it. But digital identity should belong to the individual. Web3 shows how we can build a future where privacy, resilience, and dignity come first. Continue reading Digital Identity Should Belong to the Individual
