Kaden Ritzer

Hello, I'm Kaden.

I’m an ECE student focused on the boundary between hardware and intelligent software. I design local AI and compute systems with an emphasis on compute limits, heterogeneous hardware, and real-world performance constraints.

BasecampAgent v1: Modular Local AI Architecture

A fully local agent architecture that dynamically routes tasks between discrete GPU and unified-memory APU compute. Balances latency, reasoning depth, and VRAM constraints without reliance on heavy frameworks.

Engineering Philosophy

I value systems thinking over surface-level features. My work focuses on profiling real workloads, exposing architectural trade-offs, and designing software that remains explicitly aware of the hardware it executes on.

"Design for the hardware constraints of today to build the resilient software of tomorrow."
