Public profile & the verifiable credential

Opt in to a public, employer-checkable profile — and how signed credential links verify.

One link that shows verified level, verified skills and shipped capstones
Private by default — you choose the handle and flip the switch yourself
Credentials are cryptographically signed and tamper-evident, verifiable in one click

One link an employer can check

A CV says what you claim; your public profile shows what's verified. At /p/your-handle an employer sees your name, Miatz-verified level, bio, composite score, challenges passed, best prompt, simulation and war-room scores, your mentor-verified skills, and every capstone published to your portfolio — with repo and demo links they can open.

Private by default

Nothing is public until you say so. On your Profile page, the Public profile card lets you pick a handle and tick Make my profile public — a deliberate, reversible opt-in. Untick it and the page goes dark again. Share the link with the copy or native share buttons whenever you're ready.

The Itz'at credential

Earning a credential adds the strongest object on the profile: a signed, verifiable certificate of your level and skills. Each credential carries:

a payload — your level, composite score, challenges solved, best scores and verified skills at issue time;
a cryptographic signature computed over exactly that payload;
a high-entropy verification code that forms its /verify/… link.

How verification works

Anyone opening the verify link sees the credential checked live: the page recomputes the signature over the stored contents and compares. Four outcomes are possible:

Verified credential — signature matches: the page shows your name, level, issue date, stats and verified skills, noting it's cryptographically signed and tamper-evident.
Invalid signature — the contents don't match the signature; the page says plainly not to trust it.
Credential revoked — flagged in red; revocations are honoured immediately.
Not found — no credential exists for that code.

Because the check is server-side and the code is unguessable, there's nothing to screenshot-forge: the link itself is the proof.

Using it well

Put the profile link on your CV header and the verify link beside any claimed credential. Recruiters don't want to trust you — they want to check you, in one click. Let them.

The journey, step by step

Step	What you do	What you get
Choose a handle	On your Profile page, set a handle in the Public profile card	Your profile URL becomes /p/your-handle
Go public	Tick 'Make my profile public'	Your page is live — until then it's private, which is the default
Share the link	Copy or share the URL with an employer or on your CV	They see your verified level, stats, verified skills and public capstones
Attach your credential	If you've earned a credential, its badge appears on the profile with a verify link	A recruiter can jump straight to independent verification
They verify	Anyone opens the /verify/[code] link	The signature is checked and the page says Verified — or warns if revoked or altered

Frequently asked

Is my profile public by default?

No — private by default, always. Nothing is visible at /p/your-handle until you set a handle and explicitly tick 'Make my profile public'. Untick it any time to go private again.

What does my public profile show?

Your name, verified level, bio, composite score, challenges passed, best prompt/simulation/war-room scores, mentor-verified skills, your published capstones and — if you've earned one — your credential with its verify link.

How does an employer verify a credential?

They open the verification link (/verify/ plus the credential's code). The page recomputes the cryptographic signature over the credential's contents and shows Verified credential with the details — or flags it as revoked, invalid or not found.

Can a credential be faked or edited?

Not usefully. Each credential is signed over its exact contents; change anything and the signature no longer matches, and the verify page warns 'Invalid signature — do not trust it'. Revoked credentials are clearly flagged too.
