Software Architect & Engine Developer | VB.NET & AI Systems
Welcome to my development space. I specialize in building custom core technologies, runtime execution engines, and local development tools from scratch.
My project layout focuses on high-performance architecture, local automation, and explicit programmatic control.
🏗️ Active Ecosystem
🧠 TzuFlow
A visual, node-based AI orchestration system engineered to run on consumer hardware (min. 8GB VRAM). It transforms small local LLMs (3B–8B parameters) into specialized, cooperative processes via deterministic graphs.
- Core Tech: Powered locally via Ollama.
- Extensibility: Built-in dynamic execution layer (CodeNode) powered by VB.NET logic.
🎮 Tzu3D (Game & Graphics Engine)
A custom, proprietary 3D graphics and game engine developed entirely in VB.NET using DirectX 11.
- Pure Code Architecture: Built completely code-first for total control over execution and performance.
- Advanced Rendering: Advanced rendering features including dynamic portal rendering with door-based occlusion.
🔬 Core Engineering Philosophy
- Custom Implementations: Building underlying engines from the ground up instead of relying on bloated third-party frameworks.
- Local Determinism: Privacy-first, local-inference AI combined with strict visual graph execution—no black-box prompt chains.
- Resource Optimization: Decomposing complex logic (both in 3D rendering and LLM orchestration) to run efficiently on standard local hardware.
