Could you build this?

Partial The application shell and API are approachable, but the core face detection and verification pipeline requires computer vision expertise, trained model weights, and low-level SIMD and Vulkan optimization that vibe coding will not produce reliably.

What it would actually take: The core is a face detector (for example an SSD or RetinaFace-style model) plus an embedding model for verification, both needing training data or licensed weights. Implement inference in C# with hand-tuned SIMD kernels and optional Vulkan compute for the heavy layers. This needs computer vision and performance-engineering expertise plus rigorous accuracy benchmarking.
