Thoughts on technology, AI, and the craft of building things.
Practical and forward-looking articles on software, AI, and digital innovation.
The distinction between a digital twin and an active collateral instrument is the difference between a feature and a market. This article is about that shift. It looks at what is actually working today in collateralizing tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), the product strategy behind it, and the technical design choices that make it possible.
Let’s talk about what crypto-agility actually requires, layer by layer, and why the organizations that get this right over the next eighteen months will have a structural advantage over the ones still treating it as someone else’s problem.
Programmable capital markets are the actual system change underneath the headlines, and they are arriving faster than the strategy decks suggest.
“Our AI platform is confidential” is the new “our data is encrypted.” Technically true. Architecturally meaningless. The interesting question is where… and a single weak layer collapses the entire guarantee.
Confidential AI is the first architectural answer to this problem that doesn’t require trust as an input. And I think it’s about to become the most important line item in enterprise AI strategy. Here’s why.
Tokenization without custody is theatre. Get the custody question right, and the rest of your strategy gets dramatically simpler. Get it wrong, and no amount of strategy will save you.
Why digital asset tokenization is no longer a 2030 thesis, and what that means for the next 18 months of your strategy.
Supporting Account Abstraction at blockchain protocol would allow accounts to function as smart contracts, enabling custom transaction validation, automated payments, and enhanced security mechanisms.
Zero Knowledge is the crypto buzzword of the year, and for good a reason! but if you’re not a cryptographer or a developer, you may be wondering: what exactly is a zero-knowledge proof (ZK-proof)?
The Blockchain Governance Initiative Network (BGIN) is a multi-stakeholder discussion body / distributed think tank, which plays the same role as what ISOC/IETF/ICANN/IGF is doing for the Internet ecosystem for the blockchain ecosystem.
Smart contracts pose new security challenges to software security officers. Once a smart contract is deployed onto a blockchain, it cannot be changed or deleted. Bugs or vulnerabilities in the code are permanent and can be exploited by attackers.
In the rapidly evolving world of blockchain technology, enterprises are constantly seeking tools and platforms that not only enhance their operational efficiency but also ensure security, scalability, and ease of use.
Zero-Knowledge proofs are cryptographic methods that allow one party to prove to another that they possess a certain piece of information, without actually revealing the information itself.
Generating QR code is trivial. What is less obvious is building also a kit with the actual scanner, install it at customer site, and connect it to the network for communication with our backend.
A blockchain network is a decentralized system that, because of its distributed nature, may stores across regional borders. How can we meet compliance with regional laws for data residency?
You may have heard about Smart Contracts when talking about blockchain, but what are they exactly and what problems do they solve?
Use cases for predictive maintenance, remote assistance, robotics and drones, cognitive services.
I have been recently interviewed about my experience with blockchain. Here it is a summary of the Q&A from this conversation.
With blockchain, we can imagine a world in which contracts are embedded in digital code and stored in transparent, shared databases, where they are protected from deletion, tampering, and revision.
Can you generate two identical GUIDs? Would the world end if two GUIDs collide? How long does it take to generate a duplicate GUID and would we be still here when the result is found?
Latitude and longitude look simple until you have to parse them. A tour of what WGS 84, EPSG:4326 and NMEA 0183 actually are, and a small, correct C# type for moving between notations.
Guidance for leading technical teams through change, complexity, and growth.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, generative artificial intelligence (AI) stands out as a groundbreaking development. However, with great power comes great responsibility.
Project 166 is a carbon sequestration and land restoration site in rural Queensland.
Working remotely is part of the modern work culture. Sounds good in theory, but when it comes to implementing a distributed team and managing it successfully, it’s a lot easier said than done.
I’m often asked whether we should develop a specific software component or buy an existing solution that fits our requirements. It’s the usual diatribe: build or buy, develop or acquire.
Let me get straight to the point: I don’t like the Agile definition of MVP as Minimum Viable Product. It just sounds wrong.
My read of The Phoenix Project: A Novel about IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win.
What are the synergies and differences of the roles of a Chief Information Officer and a Chief Technology Officer? An open conversation about two roles with one mission.
What it takes to be a great Software Development Manager? In 11 points, this is my story to date.
No one likes being criticised. The word itself evokes fear and defensiveness. However, learning to give and receive constructive feedback is an essential part of learning, growing, improving and achieving our goals.
IT offshoring is a big business these days, but despite looking financially attractive, working with companies in far-off lands introduces challenges that, if not considered properly, can drive any project to failure.
Fiction exploring identity, travel, and the human side of a connected world.
Meteors is a novel about what we miss while we are looking elsewhere, and about the difference between the light that flares and the light that stays.
Curious stories written for young scouts and the adults who read with them, exploring adventure and leadership.
