Contributions
- 01
Built native SwiftUI and AVFoundation capture flows with explicit camera controls and still/video processing paths.
- 02
Implemented real-time LUT and parametric image adjustments through Core Image and Metal-backed rendering.
- 03
Added RAW/DNG-oriented workflows, offline scene intelligence, local photo handling, and camera-focused monitoring tools.
- 04
Designed the product to work without an account, tracking scripts, or external media uploads.
03
System design
- Capture
- AVFoundation manages camera devices, exposure, focus, formats, and photo/video output.
- Rendering
- Core Image and Metal apply LUTs, color controls, and live preview processing.
- On-device intelligence
- Core ML and Vision support scene-aware recommendations and gallery assistance without sending media off device.
- Privacy
- Media stays in the local Photos workflow and the application does not require account creation.
04
Outcome
A camera product whose technical presentation emphasizes predictable capture behavior, local processing, and creator control rather than social or cloud features.
