Author profile (Architect of local struktur)
I am an independent software engineer, hardware experimenter and digital architect going by the pseudonym Baz00k@_CZ. My work does not reflect the modern trends of ephemeral web applications dependent on external APIs, cloud services or permanent online surveillance. I focus on developing highly optimized, low-level native systems and desktop applications (Python / Qt / PyQt / ttkbootstrap / C++) that take full control of local disk arrays, memory structures and audio hardware.
My scope ranges from the development of robust automated film and music archive managers to diagnostic benchmarks measuring the response of system resources to low-level vector geometry generators for oscilloscopes. Every line of code that leaves my ponk meets strict modularity criteria, is strictly type-annotated, has asynchronous processes, and is conceived within an integrated, interconnected ecosystem.
Programming Philosophy & Manifesto
I reject the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model. I consider software to be the digital equivalent of a precisely sharpened mechanical tool - it must function deterministically, isolated from extraneous influences and with absolute reliability. My engineering standards define these solid pillars:
1. Absolute data sovereignty
All data (metadata, playback history, configuration) is stored locally in portable SQLite files. No telemetry, no cloud, no remote license verification.
2. Workflow in the first place
The application must not tire of unnecessary overhead. Interfaces are optimized for extreme speed, deep keyboard shortcuts and zero latency disk operations.
3. Developer Determinism
I decompose the chaos in distribution data and filenames into atomic elements. Logical parser modules automatically extract technical and content parameters with 100% care.
4. Dual-Licensing & Open Modularity
I build the project architecture on the principle of separate, reusable subsystems. For each core I provide dedicated local satellites (generators, theme editors, localization managers).
Research laboratories & Audio-Visual research
My development activity is parallely accompanied by deep low-level research in the field of signal processing, emulation of old hardware and multimedia deconstruction:
🧪 Laboratory 01: Vector oscilloscope synthesis (WaveGenerator Project)
Within the experimental platform BP_XY_WaveGenerator_0.1.8.0 I deal with real-time generation of sound waveforms intended for drawing complex geometric structures and mathematical figures (Lissajous curves) on XY inputs of oscilloscopes.
Research includes software emulation of retro sound chips (legendary 8-bit processor MOS Technology SID from Commodore 64 or family of programmable sound generators AY-3-8910). I research real-time audio routing, polyphonic voice allocation, MIDI synchronization, latency suppression in the Qt engine and deterministic transformation of sound to image, where the audio signal forms a direct visual construct.
🧪 Laboratory 02: Deconstruction and audit of video-artifacts
I deal with the deconstruction of dynamic video into static data objects. I developed advanced asynchronous chains built on the robust FFmpeg pipeline that enable hold-to-capture capture of image samples at accurate frames per second (FPS) up to the native rate of the source file. These captured fragments are automatically compiled into clear HTML galleries (contact sheets) for immediate visual audit, validation and archiving of extensive offline libraries.
Software Ecosystem Catalog
Below is a complete overview of developed and maintained systems, divided by their technical focus, including accurate historical and development nomenclature from 2025/2026.
CATEGORY 11. Multimedia Cores & Relational Database Managers
MFilmDBRobust desktop manager and analyzer of large personal movie collections stored on local drives or network NAS servers.
Multimedia player designed as a comprehensive development and archiving workbench. Fully functional in standalone mode, with optional deep integration into the MFilmDB database core.
A comprehensive system for deep indexing of low-level music files, modification tracker, albums and associated highly optimized audio player built on Qt.
2. Diagnostics, System Utilities & Real-time monitoring
FileSystemMonitor & BackuperA low-level system service monitoring I/O operations of disk arrays and an associated incremental backup manager without the need for a cloud.
Benchmarking application focused on amicable numbers calculations. AmiBenchmark is the historical predecessor of the later DCBench and was created as a practical tool for comparing computing configurations in a distributed computing environment.
3. Vertical ERP Systems, Structured Data & Mathematical Geometry
US Conflicts DBMonolithic database system designed for deep, structured indexing, chronological analysis and record of historical events and military conflicts.
