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.
