New Open Source ReleaseI am releasing three large software systems I developed privately over several years as a solo effort, without institutional backing, corporate sponsorship, or a formal engineering team.These are not concepts or mockups. They are real, deployable systems. They install through Docker, Helm, or Kubernetes, start successfully, and produce observable results. They are currently running on cloud infrastructure. That said, they should be understood as unfinished foundations, not polished products.Together, the ecosystem totals roughly 1.5 million lines of code.The PlatformsASE — Autonomous Software Engineering System ASE is a closed-loop platform for code creation, monitoring, evaluation, and iterative self-improvement. Its purpose is to automate parts of the software lifecycle by producing artifacts from high-level tasks, monitoring outcomes, feeding corrections back into the process, and refining itself over time. It runs today, but agent tuning is uneven, some features are incomplete, and
