Most of you know that I enjoy coding and web development as hobbies in my free time. I love solving puzzles, and the intricate nature of programming instantly captivated me even before highschool. I was creating port scanners using Visual Basic 6, and installing LAMP on a Windows PC. What began as tinkering has developed into truly challenging myself to achieve the next level of “What can I make?”
I’ve been taking courses on LinkedIn and Udemy for some years now, alongside reading books and blogs. From C++ and Java, to React and Flask. I had even wanted to consider programming as the next step in my career. A year ago, AI really started to take wind. Chatbots accepted longer and longer input. Coding-specific LLMs were created.
Fast-forward to today’s AI, and we have something incredible. It took some upgrades to work out the bugs, and there’s still plenty of problems to encounter, but now I think we have real opportunities for developers, researchers, technicians, everyone. There’s GPT, and Grok, and now DeepSeek.. There’s Cursor, Bolt, and v0 for automated development.. There’s Gemini just given to users for free this week to incorporate within VS Code..
I can feel the exponential leaps in AI, so I decided to really push myself with “What can I make with AI?”
It took about a week to create the CLI implementation. It’s cross-platform: Windows, Linux, and Mac, and all three are downloadable on my site. In about another week I will be releasing the final product suite (all for free, of course).
I would like to introduce you to: Quintropy1x
Quintropy1x is a brand new AI-developed encryption cipher not based on any others in existence. With a 512-bit key and 16 salted-rounds operating on 128-byte blocks, Quintrophy1x integrates dynamic substitution, key-driven permutations, fractional bit mixing, and inter-block diffusion to create a quantum-proof cipher that’s stronger than AES-256-GCM.
Please check out the technical exposition on Quintropy1x here (as well as downloads):
